Fool's Hand
Poker-Hand Tarot Deckbuilder
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The sun does not rise, and the world has fallen asleep on its feet.
On the morning the deck that decided fate was overturned, a "Fool" who has spilled every memory opens his eyes.
Fool's Hand is a pixel-art roguelike deckbuilder built on the tarot's "Fool's Journey." Fight with poker hands, collect Charms to build your own style, meet the twenty-one broken Arcana one by one, and win back the memories you lost.
■ How you fight
• Every turn you are dealt eight cards and play up to five of them as a poker hand.
• [Attack] deals Chips × Mult as damage. [Guard] turns your Chips into Block.
• Cards pop up one by one as the score stacks. The bigger the numbers get, the bigger the screen and sound get with them.
• A monster's next move (its intent) is always visible, so reading the board and picking your build decide the fight.
• Swap cards with your Wheel cards, and wait for the right moment to go for the hand you want.
■ Build your own deck
• More than 100 Charms. Place Charms whose effects depend on their order into your 5 slots.
• 48 Blessings to choose after each battle. Level them up and pair them to evolve them.
• Card enhancements (Bonus, Mult, Wild, Glass, Steel, Stone, Gilded, Lucky) and editions (Foil, Holo, Poly).
• Seal a monster's Soul onto a card at the altar, or fuse two Souls into a new Charm.
• Light the Constellations with Stardust to stack permanent upgrades.
■ The story
• Three Acts and the final "World." Every Act has a Gatekeeper and an Arcana boss waiting.
• The bosses are not enemies. They are "Unplayed Fates." The moment they fall, they turn upright again and say what they always wanted to say.
• The Dealer at the Green Table, Granny Coin, Yeoul the altar keeper, rival Jack, and Thirteen at the death registration window. New conversations open every time you return.
• Dark but hopeful, with a spoonful of humor. There are four endings.
■ Modes
• The Fool's Journey: the main mode, through three Acts and the World to an ending. Clear it to unlock Fate Grades (difficulty).
• The Endless Tower: an endless mode where the Acts never stop. How high you climb is your record.
• Today's Fortune: a daily challenge once a day, where everyone plays the same deal with the rule of the day. Your score goes on this device's ranking.
• Codex: your own book of monsters, Charms, Blessings, poker hands, endings and Memory Fragments.
