About the Game

Beat Death at cards.

ȘEPTAR is a roguelite deckbuilder built on Șeptică, the Romanian shedding card

game — the one your grandmother actually played. Underneath the familiar 36-card deck

runs a score-chasing engine: stage your cards into chains, fire them for points ×

a length multiplier, and race a living opponent who's trying to do the same. The

longer you hold, the bigger the payoff — and the more the opponent races ahead. Cash

out now, or build the monster chain?

The wild 7 is your weapon

The 7 is fully wild — it bridges any chain. The 2 is an attack — fire it

to rip cards out of your opponent's hand. Every relic and character bends these rules

in a different direction.

Sculpt a run

  • 59 relics — passive rule-benders drafted between races. Stack them, chasesynergies, break the math. Beat a boss and loot their signature relic.

  • 4 characters — The Gambler, The Hoarder, The Septar, The Widow. Each warpsthe rules from the first card.

  • A sculpted deck — burn, forge, and reforge your cards across a run. Deckcomposition is a build axis.

  • Card blessings — permanent per-card upgrades, stamped on for the whole run.

Climb the folk-tale ladder

Win back the road home one card-table at a time. Face a gauntlet of folkloric figures —

the Innkeeper, the Crone, the Wolf, the Revenant, the Witch, the Storm-Caller — all the

way to the Dragon, who is Death holding the final mile. 6 Ascension tiers of

stacking difficulty, a recurring nemesis that returns stronger every run, and a daily

seed with leaderboards.

Play your friends

Invite one Steam friend to a 1v1 series — a best-of-5 of relic-drafted races

with carried builds and escalating targets, decided over a real match with rematches.

The same proven core loop, head to head.

Longevity modes

  • Weekly Challenge — one seeded run the whole world shares that week.

  • Boss Rush — the four bosses, back to back.

  • Endless — loop the ladder forever as the pressure compounds.

  • Custom — a sandbox: tier, character, ladder length, mutators.

Juice you feel in your chest

A warm folk-art tavern where simple arithmetic is dressed up as fireworks. Cards slam,

the score launches and ticks up, multipliers flash, the screen shakes on a big fire.

Procedural sound, a moody Romanian-folk soundtrack, full colorblind support, and a

guided tutorial that teaches by doing.
