About This Demo

Card Homestead is a strategic deck-building game set in a Wasteland.

A merciless dystopian world ruled by mega-banking capitalism...

As a debtor trapped in endless financial bondage, you must constantly pay taxes to the ruthless ruling class.

With each passing day, the suffocating pressure of these taxes will push you to the brink.

The only way to survive... is to make money as efficiently as possible on this barren land!

Every morning, a relief truck arrives with three new cards.
Decide what your homestead needs today, and where it will make the biggest impact.
A single choice can shift the entire course of the day and decide the fate of your farm.
Strategy doesn't begin when you pick a card; it begins the moment you place it on your plot!

Once everything is placed, it's time for the homestead to go to work.
When you end your turn, your structures awaken one by one, generating resources in sequence.
The exact same card can yield dramatically different results depending on its position and order.
Find your own perfect layout and sequence to survive the harsh wasteland.

Amass gold to reclaim the barren wasteland, turning it into farmland piece by piece.
As your territory expands, so do your placement options and the scale of your synergies.
How far you expand and dominate the terrain is entirely up to your strategic choices.

Just as your farm begins to find its footing, a 'Trial' arrives to shake up your carefully built layout.
These trials are no mere obstacles—they are direct threats to your survival.
Whether you turn this ruthless crisis into an opportunity or lose everything is up to you.

The Fusion of Deck-Building and Spatial Strategy

  • Experience the dual thrill of refining your deck and the precise strategy of grid placement.

Position-Based Strategy

  • A card’s effectiveness changes completely depending on where it is placed. Discover the optimal layout.

Decks with Various Themes

  • Build your own path to survival by combining themed decks, each featuring unique mechanics:

  • 🌾 Crop Theme: Focuses on raising soil fertility and planting crops to harvest steady revenue. This is the most straightforward, growth-oriented strategy.

  • 🐖 Animal Theme: Raise livestock and sacrifice (slaughter) them at the right moment for massive payouts. A high-risk, high-reward strategy.

  • 🚬 Luxuries Theme: Effects scale based on your remaining hand size or the number of empty tiles on the field. Ideal for players who enjoy calculated, tactical resource management.

  • 💊 Medicine Theme: Uses specialized action cards (such as Aspirin) on your structures to trigger cloning, self-replication, or enhanced resource extraction.

  • 📡 Network Theme: Align structures in the same row and trigger action cards in chain reactions to activate highly efficient mechanical combos.
