A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

The high-risk, high-reward not-actually-gambling tower defense game.

The premise is simple, there are enemies and you need to make sure they don't get to the end.

At your disposal are 4 suits of cards:

- The Diamond, shooting regular projectiles

- The Club, explosive and violent, shooting explosive bombs

- The Heart, shooting a long-range laser beam

- The Spade, leaving a cloud of gas within its vicinity

After placing the cards, you can upgrade to improve them and combine them together to form hands that will empower the towers forming it.

Hand formation

To form a hand, place multiple towers near each other, then click the Form button in the tower upgrade wheel. Select the towers that will form the hand. You can only select towers near other. After a correct hand has been selected, choose the desired hand. Once the hand is formed, all towers in the hand will have bonuses based on the hand.
