FAQ

Card roguelike games combine traditional card game mechanics with roguelike elements such as procedural generation, permadeath, and deck-building progression. Players start with a basic deck and improve it throughout their run by adding new cards, removing weak ones, and upgrading existing cards. Each playthrough is unique due to randomly generated encounters and card rewards.

Improvement comes through practice and understanding key concepts:

• Learn card synergies and build focused decks
• Understand risk vs. reward decisions
• Study enemy patterns and prepare accordingly
• Practice resource management (energy, health, currency)
• Don't be afraid to lose - each run teaches valuable lessons

For beginners, we recommend starting with Tavern Rumble. It features:

• Clear visual feedback and intuitive mechanics
• Gradual difficulty progression
• Mobile-friendly controls
• Excellent tutorial system

Once comfortable, try Recollecto for a unique twist on the genre, or Poker Quest for more strategic depth.
