關於此遊戲

The hook

Hand-me-downs is a roguelike deck builder where your opponents use your own cards against you, so you need to carefully consider what to play each round.

Your opponents don't have their own deck, so they borrow your cards!
Each time you play a hand, your opponent takes the cards from your hand and uses them against you the next time you meet.

The vibes

Immerse yourself in this little slice of Adriatic culture as the gorgeous pixelated versions of the Triestine cards trigger to the beat of traditional Mediterranean music.

Played cards go to the battlefield, rhythmically triggering in order of their priority. The same set of cards can yield vastly different scores under different priority rules.

The spice

Lady luck may be your ally or your foe, but nothing she might throw at you can stifle a true master of strategy.

The suit priority has the most influence on overall card priority.
It's randomized each round to keep things fresh.

The charm

Each suit has its own flavor, and each rank its unique character.

The Triestine cards may not be familiar to many, but they certainly don't lack in personality!

Throughout the game you'll get familiar with the no-nonsense Bastoni, the fortunate Denari, the jolly Coppe and the ruthless Spade.

The counterpart to the more familiar Jack, Queen, and King are respectively the Fante, Caval, and Re.

Figuring out the numbered ranks and the aces is left as an exercise to the reader.

The challenge

Each opponent brings a unique twist to the table, so be careful which cards you let them have.

Most opponents you encounter are too prideful to simply use the cards you hand down to them without applying their own touch first.

Whether it's the The Painter changing the suits, or The General ranking the cards up, your opponents will make sure to complicate your plans, and provide deck-fixing opportunities to those skillful enough to manipulate them.

After all, their cards are your cards.

The plea

So sit back, relax, take in the sounds of our coast, decimate your opponents, and please don't tell our grandpas how we massacred their game.
