Rigged: Roguelike Spades

Spades, rigged in your favour. Bid with your partner, take your tricks, and watch a row of hustlers turn a modest contract into a score that runs off the table. Rigged is a roguelike deckbuilder built on real partnership Spades: your team's bid sets the multiplier, your tricks set the chips, and missing the contract drops the multiplier to x1. HOW A RUN WORKS - Eight antes, three tables each: the Locals, the Ringers and The Boss - Every table is a score to beat in four deals of five cards - Discard and redraw, bid, play your tricks, and the score adds up deal by deal - Clear the table, collect the pot, and spend it in the shop THE SHARKS - 70 Sharks: the hustlers who rig every hand - Plus chips, plus mult, times mult, and rule-benders that change trump, hand size and bags - They fire left to right, chips before mult before times mult, so where you put one is half of what it is worth - Foil, holographic, polychrome and negative editions YOUR PARTNER - Six partners with their own styles: Dot never over-bids, Pike bids over his hand, Sister Ruth covers your Nil - They level up during a run and play sharper as they do - You make or miss the contract together BAGS: THE MULTIPLIER THAT BITES BACK Every overtrick is a bag. Some of the best Sharks feed on bags, and too many cost you a deal. Overshooting your bid is your biggest engine and the thing most likely to end the run. TWENTY BOSSES Every third table changes a rule. The Void will not let you lead trump. Trump Flip makes hearts trump. The Whale doubles the target and hands you two extra deals. Four of them go after the partnership itself. THE SHOP - Powers you play mid-trick: Renege, Snatch, Overcut, Peek and more - Ledgers that level up a contract - Vouchers that change the house rules - Card packs that add, enhance, seal or burn cards in your own deck PLAY IT YOUR WAY - 13 decks to unlock, and 8 stakes on every one to climb - Endless mode after the eighth ante - Seeded runs: type any word and play the same deal again - No internet, no account, no ads - Your run saves itself the moment you leave ONE PURCHASE Rigged is free to play with the House Deck, Dot as your partner and the first stake. One purchase unlocks the full game: a second deck and four more partners straight away, and every other deck, partner and stake as you earn them. No currencies, no timers, no ads.
