Read the full game description

Ace of Spades is a compact supernatural western adventure that turns poker hands into magical attacks. A lone avenger reaches Sweet Haven, Arizona, where the necromancer Lord Overkill commands the cemetery and the road to Hell itself. Each duel asks the player to manage a hand of cards, assemble useful poker combinations, and convert them into damage before the enemy’s threats overwhelm the hero. Encounter effects and escalating bosses complicate what would otherwise be a familiar draw-and-play rhythm, making hand preservation, combination value, and timing more important than chasing a single spectacular hand. The campaign can be tackled as a true solo game or with two players sharing the decisions and danger cooperatively. Its forty-to-forty-five-minute structure delivers a complete arcade-like run: work through minions, adapt to special rules, and descend toward the final showdown. Comic artist David Rubín’s vivid presentation gives every card the energy of a supernatural graphic novel.
