About This Game

CARRRDS is a card game about being a bad pirate.

You captain a ship. You draw a hand. You move forward when your cards say so and backward when someone else's do. First ship across the finish line wins — assuming

nobody harpoons you mid-sail, swaps your good hand for a worse one, or buries a sea mine right where you were about to land.

It's quick to learn, mean in the right places, and built for the kind of game night where alliances last about three rounds.

Modes

- Ranked — climb the tiers from Bronze up to Pirate of the Sea

- Casual — same rules, no rating on the line

- Custom Lobby — set the distance, the timer, the cards, and the mode. Up to 6 players, online or vs bots

- Story Mode — eight captains, eight boss fights, eight different ways to lose. Each boss has a signature card they'll play against you, and they hit harder when you

knock them low. Beat them all to be King of the Pirates.

- Arcade — a new chaotic ruleset every day: Tag (one tagger chases everyone), Roulette (every card you play gets spun), Quests (pick a side-objective each round),

Weather (deck-wide effects), Bloodtap (every play costs HP). Limited time.

A card game first, a pirate game second. Bring friends. Don't trust them.
