You died at this machine.

The casino is the afterlife, and the house always has one more spin for you.

Gambler's Grave is a roguelike deckbuilder where your cards are cheats: nudge a

reel one notch, shift the whole board, freeze your luck in place, or re-spin

what went wrong. The odds are printed on the glass. The outcomes never are.

THIS IS AN EARLY PROTOTYPE

We are sharing it to find out one thing: is the core loop fun?

Expect placeholder art in places, unbalanced numbers and rough edges.

HOW IT PLAYS

• Three reels, one payline. A win pays the moment it forms — so turning a near

miss into a win with the right card is the heart of the game.

• Coins are your only resource: every coin is a spin OR a draw. Spend it or lose

it — leftovers don't carry over.

• Cards jam the machine's spots while they work. Durability is measured in

actions: keep cranking and your cheats ride along, step back and the house

digests them.

• Beat each round's target to reach the Dealer: buy cards, open a sealed pack,

remove one card from your deck.

• Survive 7 rounds.

WHAT'S IN THE DEMO

• 7 rounds with a rising target

• 24 cards — movers, freezes, re-spins, multipliers, card-draw engines

• The Dealer's shop with sealed packs and card removal

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

Leave a comment below — even one sentence helps:

• Did you understand what to do without help?

• Which card felt great? Which felt useless?

• Did a round ever feel unwinnable, or too easy?
