About the Game

Congratulations, you’ve just been promoted to Regional Executive Director of Trivial Assignments and Poker Expenditures (REDTAPE). Your mandate: reach score targets by playing poker hands with a standard 52-card deck.

Each round victory earns you Clout, a corporate currency you can spend by visiting the Human Resources department to add Employees to your deck who bend the rules in your favor, stacking unique passive bonuses and abilities that can completely rewire your strategy, and Items that upgrade base hand multipliers and the number of Plays and Discards you start each round with.

Discover Employee synergies, experiment with countless deck builds, and climb the corporate ladder of chaos. The only way to defeat the entire C-suite is by gaming the system harder than they game you.

  • REDTAPE is a poker roguelite deckbuilding game in which you play poker hands to score points.

  • Hire Employees, each with unique passive bonuses and abilities that can dramatically change how you play.

  • Purchase Items to upgrade base hand multipliers and the number of Plays and Discards you start each round with.

  • Discover powerful synergies and earn huge score combos.

  • 10 different bosses who test every strategy you can think of.

  • Infinite replayability with endless mode.

  • Lo-fi background music.
