'Aces & Adventures' Is A Poker-Powered Deck-building RPG Coming to PC In February, Playtest Available Today - Trailer

Aces & Adventures is a deck-building RPG with poker-powered combat where you journey through 13 fully-voiced campaigns to save the Life Tree, or tackle procedurally-generated runs.

Aces & Adventures combines the thrill of deckbuilding with tactical poker-based strategy. Play as 5 distinct characters each with their own unique abilities, revealed as cards are drawn in a fully voice-acted story told across 13 campaigns.

Unlock powerful new traits and upgrade your abilities on a journey to save Cardrasil, the Life Tree, in a world inspired by Norse and Middle Eastern mythology. Carefully craft your deck and use tactical poker-powered attacks to defeat enemies and mythical bosses in an immersive, kinetic roguelite adventure, and power up your attributes in procedurally-generated runs to ensure endless unique experiences. You’ll craft a deck and choose how to use your resources – do you aim to defeat your opponents through attacks and spells, or play cards in order to potentially draw devastating high-value poker hands and obliterate your foes in a mighty blow?

Three tables stand in a circle of stones in the misty heart of the old woods, forming a portal to a soaring world drawn from the pages of ancient Norse and Middle Eastern mythology. There, you will embark on a journey to save Cardrasil, the Life Tree, from the evil that gnaws at her roots. Each card of the enchanted deck she entrusts to you are leaves plucked from her very branches. Use them to evoke your abilities and unleash devastating, poker-powered attacks. Grow your own power, prune your own deck, but make haste! The seasons are changing; warmth won’t be free for long.


In celebration of today’s release date announcement, Triple.B.Titles also launched a brand new playtest for the game, allowing all Steam players to try Aces & Adventures for a limited time ahead of its full launch next month. Experience the first four campaigns across three of the game’s five characters, and get the first look at the procedural game mode by joining the Steam Playtest, playable now until January 17.

All progress made in the playtest will also carry over to the full release when it releases on February 23, allowing players to continue their adventure from where they left off.

Aces & Adventures began as a physical card game that we believed had true potential to work as a deeply compelling video game,” said Enrique Dryere, co-founder, Triple.B.Titles. “We’ve been thrilled with how the game has evolved from the very first concept to today, and are incredibly proud to let players experience it with today’s playtest. We hope players really enjoy the strategic nature of Aces & Adventure’s deckbuilding combat and find themselves captivated by the lore of our fantasy RPG.”
