In this Cambio / Cabo style card game there's no single path to victory — win with memory, nerve, or straight-up sabotage. No two games play the same. How do you DEKÜ?
DEKÜ is a fast-paced card game of memory, strategy, sabotage, and risk — inspired by classic Cambio and Cabo-style card games. Fans of Archduke, Skyjo, Golf, or Rat-a-Tat Cat will feel right at home, then discover everything they've been missing.
Quick to learn and easy to play, DEKÜ gives players an unusual amount of freedom for a game that can be finished in minutes. There is no single path to victory. The path you take is entirely dependent on the type of person you are.
Some players rely on memory, carefully tracking hidden information and steadily building the lowest-scoring grid. Others play aggressively, collecting powerful special cards and waiting for the perfect moment to disrupt their opponents. Some call DEKÜ early and trust their instincts. Others wait, gather information, and strike when the opportunity appears.
Every approach can work. It's a matter of reading your opponents and countering different styles of play. Very similar to poker.
Throughout the game, players draw, swap, match, bluff, sabotage, and adapt as new information is revealed. Luck can change the board in an instant, but smart decisions always matter. The best players learn how to create opportunities, manage risk, and turn bad situations into winning positions.
Play against friends in real-time multiplayer — up to 4 players — or take on a cast of AI opponents across difficulty levels, from pushover to ruthless.
Looking for even more? After mastering Classico there are a host of other game modes that further amp up the bluffing and sabotage components of DEKÜ.
Explore unique game modes like DEKÜ CHAOS and DEKÜ RISK, where special cards become more common, unpredictable twists reshape the game, and opportunities for sabotage, counterplay, bluffing, and dramatic comebacks are pushed to the extreme.

No two games of DEKÜ play the same. What kind of player are you?
I am 89 years young and love playing games that help keep my brain and memory going. DEKU fits the bill to perfection. I love that It has different levels and invokes both memory and strategy. I have not tried sabotage yet. Thank you for introducing this amazing game to my game world.

This review made my year! You're exactly who I made this for. Fair warning: The risk and chaos game modes seriously up the memory and strategy ante. Report back when you give 'em a try ;) Thank you for the kind review. -Decker
Fun Card Game
Game reviewers.
I am in love with this game, can play by myself or with a group of friends online. It’s a fun card game that makes you think and I think it should be on iMessage for group chats.
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind review!! Solo and group play are exactly how DEKÜ is meant to be enjoyed. I love the iMessage idea...maybe something to come in a future update? Since you're playing with friends already — the refer-a-friend code gets you both free rewards 👀 but you didn't hear that from me. -Decker

NO MORE WAITING — Multiplayer rounds now advance automatically on a 15-second timer instead of waiting on the host.
CLEANED-UP MULTIPLAYER — Streamlined the multiplayer screens: host or join right up top, your friends list front and center, and your loadout is now just a tap away on your own seat.

SNAPPIER BOTS — Bots act way faster now, so you're never falling asleep waiting for your turn to swing back around.
WAY FEWER FREEZES — A huge stability pass on multiplayer. Game freezes and desyncs should now be rare.
3-2-1 COUNTDOWN — Multiplayer matches kick off with a countdown so everyone's locked in.
FAIRER STARTS — Bots can no longer draw before the start-of-game grace period is up, so those opening matches stay fair.
