About the Game

City-building meets deck-building in a chaotic roguelike where rival mayors unleash havoc on your city. Build your perfect metropolis while angry construction workers tear it down, evil beekeepers swarm your citizens, and skeleton archers rain flaming arrows from above.

Decks and the City is filled with unique rivals for you to battle, each with their own unique cards and mechanics. You're an unwelcome guest in their city, so they'll do anything to get you fired!

Buildings, upgrades, city-wide effects, and more. What cards will you choose for your city?

From luxury apartments to humble shops, build a city from a wide variety of buildings, each with effects that interact in unique ways. Try out different combinations of buildings to find powerful synergies and create a deck that matches your desired playstyle.

  • Customise your Deck: With a range of cards to pick from, each career you embark on provides you with the opportunity to discover new synergies and find interesting playstyles.

  • Unique career paths: Pick a starting path and embark on a run that changes each time, providing unique challenges and a wide range of decisions that require you to keep strategising and planning ahead.

  • Daily Challenge: Each day you can embark on a new global challenge, allowing you to test your skills against your friends and the community with skill-focused leaderboards.
