I adored FTL: Faster Than Light and Red Rogue Sea looks like a sweet evolution of the gameplay with pirates and deck-building.

You've probably played card-matching memory games before, but have you played them in the setting of a dungeon-crawling deck-builder before? Pairs & Perils has a fun idea.

What could quite easily end up being the next big indie hit just like Balatro, you're going to want to check out the new demo for Pip My Dice.

Don't play this demo if you value having any free time at all. Seriously. Moon Watch is delightfully great and properly brings some unique additions to the now very popular horde-survival genre.

Chess as a roguelike deckbuilder? Could be a fun one! Developer Rogue Brain Studios has announced that Usurper will launch on September 9th.

There's just something satisfying about laying down tracks, and then slamming a train into your enemy. Battle Train is an interesting spin on deck-builders and there's a demo out now.

While Spinny Dungeon won't suck away your money like a real slot machine, it will eat away your time.

Taking some inspiration from the excellent Noita perhaps, Infest brings the mechanic of destroying all the pixels and puts it into a deckbuilder.

This might perhaps pull a bunch of you away from Balatro, as Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers a card-flipping, risk-taking roguelike deckbuilder is releasing on August 8th.

Battle Train sounds unique and hilarious! You've seen plenty of deck-builders, but instead of various creatures, here you throw trains at your enemy.

A Yahtzee Roguelike experience? That's going to be a thing. FokazLabs recently revealed Pip My Dice and the idea does sound quite interesting.

Released today with Native Linux support, Dice & Fold from Tinymice Entertainment is a turn-based dungeon crawler where your only way of attacking the enemy is by rolling dice.

Hooded Horse sure do pick some gems to publish with the latest announcement being Drill Keeper from ShoulderByte GmbH that looks like an intoxicating mix of genres.

Well, that's certainly different. Usually a deck-builder card game is about building up your deck, here's it's about sacrificing them and burning them away.

Coming from Arpentor Studio, Dawnmaker is a turn-based city building and deckbuilding game that feels like playing a board game.

Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers is a different kind of deck-builder and given the popularity of Balatro, this could be another fun one to try. Set in a tavern packed with the rough and ready, where everyone plays a very different version of traditional Blackjack.

Rogue Voltage takes the idea of roguelikes and deck-builders and spins it into something incredible clever with a little engineering involving lots of wires.

Mega Crit have announced Slay the Spire 2 during the Triple-I showcase, a game that no doubt will be exciting for many with how great the first is.

Back in July 2023 I wrote about Lost For Swords, a roguelike deck-builder, where the cards in your deck shape the rooms you’re exploring. It was properly good fun and now it has a Native Linux demo too!

Hyperspace Deck Command is the next game in the Hyperspace Anthology from Sleeper Games that includes their two previous games Swirl W@tch and ---Red---Tether-->.
