About 21: Dead Man's Deck

Sit. Draw. Survive.

In 21: Dead Man’s Deck, every hand is a duel and every loss leaves a mark. You are strapped to a machine. So is your rival. Reach 21 — or rewrite fate with a deck of cursed trumps — before your device finishes its work.

This is not a friendly card table. This is the House.

Blackjack with teeth

•
Hit and Stand toward a target of 21 — but trumps can move the target itself.
•
Keep a hole card. Public totals hide the truth until you commit.
•
Bust is not instant death. Spend a trump to claw back under… or stand and accept the bite.
•
Win the round by finishing closer to the target without breaking.

Trumps & charges

Build a lethal 7-card trump deck from a growing collection of dark abilities — wards, curses, gambles, finishers, and fate-twisting plays.

•
Draw trumps as the duel unfolds. Playing one does not end your turn.
•
Fuel them with charges earned by winning — and surviving — each round.
•
Open packs, salvage the fallen, and craft the deck that fits how you fight.

Your life is the wager

Coins are not the stake. Devices are.

•
Every lost round advances your device one stage.
•
Four losses and the House collects you — match over.
•
Break their device first, and their world opens.

Six wings of the House

Walk gothic lobbies by candlelight and challenge the souls who keep them:

•
The Mansion — The Butler
•
The Laboratory — The Surgeon
•
The Factory — The Foreman
•
The Village — The Harvester
•
The Ruins — The Monk
•
The Underground — The Signalman

Conquer them all… then take The Final Seat against the Fate Dealer himself.

Modes of damnation

•
Campaign — conquer the six wings and earn your audience with the Dealer.
•
The Gauntlet — an endless streak of rising rivals. Device damage carries. Fall once and the run ends.
•
Versus — pass-the-deck hotseat. Only the seated player sees their true total and trump fan.
•
Blood Stakes — winner takes two cards from the loser’s collection. Permanently.
•
Online — find a rival through Steam and settle it under a shared fate. Optional coin purses and Blood Stakes: escrowed by the House, winner takes the pot. In-game coins only, no cash-out. A House table, not a ranked ladder.

A living House

Between duels, walk the lobby. Speak with the Dealer. Buy packs. Salvage duplicates. Claim quests. Edit your Deck of the Damned. Read the House Records. Step through the Mirror of Judgement to another wing.

Every candle is lit for a reason.

Every card has a price.

Reach 21 — or die trying.

The House Always Collects.

Interface and subtitles in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil) and Japanese. Voice acting is English with localised subtitles. Card faces stay English.
