Enter the Chaotic Tower and take part in the Tower Lord's gambit in this Old-School, Tactical, Roguelike Deckbuilder. Wielding the power of your Creature and Enchantment decks, the limits of your strategy will be tested. The Tower Lord awaits a worthy opponent. Are you ready?
CardScrawl is a Roguelike Deckbuilder that melds tactical combat, resource management and auto battler elements into a novel experience. Set in a dark gothic fantasy setting, CardScrawl compels the player to not only test their Deck Building skills but think strategically and survey the gameboard before every move.

Unlock and play with 30 unique champions, each possessing an exclusive powerful ultimate ability. Some Champions will be trickier to use than others, and will require more calculated decisions. Coming up with the right mix of Creatures, Enchantments, and Spoils for each Champion will be integral to ascend the Tower's dark halls unscathed.

From Orcs, Goblins and Imps to Dragons, Jabberwocks and Mind Flayers, all familiar Creatures from popular fantasy universes are here. The possibilities are endless!

The Game Board is where all the magic happens. Use Mana to summon Creatures onto the Board. From there, each Player's Creatures will automatically move to the Opponent's end of the board every turn. Strategically use Creatures offensively or defensively, but beware, if an opponent's Creature reaches the end of the Board it will attack your Health Points directly!

Employ a second Enchantment Deck, boasting powerful Spell Cards used to enhance your Creatures combat abilities. Enchantments vary greatly including Horizontal, Vertical, Random, Chain, and Board-Wide effects. You must analyze the gameboard wisely and choose the best move.

At the end of every match, choose a Spoil. These will be used to permanently upgrade your Champion. Select Spoils that mesh well with your Champions ultimate ability and current deck strategy. Your decision making skills will be put to the test.
