House of 21
SteamAbout House of 21
House of 21 is a roguelike deckbuilder where blackjack is your weapon.
You're trapped in a casino purgatory between life and death. Build your deck, push your luck and take on the House.
How combat works:
•
Draw cards one at a time, each one raises your total
•
Stand at any time to lock in your hand
•
Hit 21 and deal double damage
•
Go over and bust. Your cards are halved and your hand shrinks
•
After standing, drag each card onto an enemy to attack or onto yourself to block
•
Every card in your hand is both a weapon and a shield. You decide how to spend it
•
The closer you push to 21, the stronger your hand. But one card too many and the turn collapses.
Cards & Badges
•
Every card in your deck is a standard playing card, but badges change what they do.
•
130+ badges to discover
•
Badges are permanent modifiers attached to individual cards
•
Each card can carry up to 2 badges at once
•
Badges trigger on specific moments: when you draw, stand, hit 21, bust, attack, or defend
•
Stack two badges on the same card to create powerful combos
•
Build around synergies. A card with Venom and Cleave weakens every enemy it hits
•
Your deck starts simple. By the end of a run, every card should be doing something.
Relics

Passive items collected across your run
•
80+ Relics to discover
•
Some reward clean play
•
Some reward risk
•
Others bend the rules
Enemies
•
Enemies telegraph their next move. Some have dynamic intents that adapt to your stand total or if you bust
•
40+ enemies to battle. Casino objects brought to life, cursed staff and more
•
Traits are permanent passive rules unique to each enemy: Nimble halves damage from high cards, Bulwark absorbs the first hit each turn, Spiky punishes low cards
•
Elites hit harder and carry rarer traits
•
Bosses shift through phases, summon reinforcements, and force you to adapt mid fight
