About This Game

Place the beasts. Channel the elements. Break the throne.

Wuxing: Elemental Array Poker is a feng-shui roguelike deckbuilder. You don't just play a good poker hand—you place it onto a 3×3 altar, card by card, and let the Five Elements flow between cells. What you play matters. Where you place it matters just as much.

Core Play

• Poker, reimagined — 65 cards across five elemental suits. Every classic

  hand, plus element-only hands like the Generation Chain and Counter Chain.

• The board fights back — each card reacts to its neighbors. Chain Generation to stack multipliers, or gamble on Counter for huge scores — but watch the Calamity it stirs up, which leads to negative effects.

• Send each beast home — Wood's Azure Dragon to the East, Fire's Vermilion Bird to the South, Metal's White Tiger to the West, Water's Black Tortoise to the North, Earth's Qilin to the center. Land an element on its home cell and it wakes up for bonus multiplier.

• One more run — spring to winter, each guarded by a beast boss that bends one rule of the board, with dozens of relics & charms to warp your build.

Why Wuxing?

This is not another Balatro clone. In Balatro, multipliers come from sequence. In Wuxing, they come from space—a 3×3 board that fights back. The unfamiliar is the hook: look at the board and you can actually say "because this is Wood → Fire → Earth," instead of "no idea why that just happened."

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During development we used generative AI tools to create some content that ships in the game:

- Visual art: Some 2D art (card illustrations, store/capsule art, boss and deity illustrations, UI seals, and marketing images) was generated with an image model, then hand-edited, composited, and curated by us.
- Music: The looping background music tracks were generated with an AI music tool, then edited and mastered (trimmed and crossfade-looped) by us before inclusion.
- Text / localization: Some in-game text and its translations (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English) were produced with AI assistance and then reviewed and edited by us.

All AI-generated content was reviewed by a human before shipping.
We have confirmed our right to use these tools' output commercially, and have taken steps to ensure the content does not infringe third-party IP.
