About This Game

Lightly Played is a card-collecting roguelite. Buy packs, keep the pulls that work together, get the best ones graded, and turn your collection into the biggest hit you can. New sets drop, Hype cards get Powercrept, and one of the graders is Definitely Legit.

Rip it open

Buy sealed packs, rip them open and pick the cards you want. New sets get released mid-run, all the way up to The Vault and its Legendaries, while old sets go out of print. Keep an eye out for fancy versions, from Gold border to Crown.

Get it graded

Send your best pulls to one of three graders. Kessaro (KSG) is tidy and by the book. Crown is slow, gilded and pricey, with the best shot at a rare ability. Definitely Legit grades while you wait, and anything can happen, up to a grade 11.

Or grade them yourself

Try the Grading Bench minigame, where you open packs and grade every card yourself. Beat Definitely Legit, Crown and Kessaro at their own game, and design the slab your cards come back in.

Showdown

Challenge 10 different collectors using the cards you've picked up during your run. Score big to unlock new cards, sleeves, perks and other collectables.

About the art

I'm a solo developer, not an artist, and I really wanted to make this game. The card art in the game is made from a combination of AI and manual processes. I couldn't have made the game without it, and I understand if that means it's not for you.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

The card illustrations (creatures and spells), the boss portraits and the booster-pack illustrations were developed using a combination of AI, manual processing and editing, then reviewed by hand. The same illustrations appear in the store page art and trailer. The card frames, grading slabs, logo, interface, 3D market stall and Showdown stage, animations and sound effects were made without generative AI. The game doesn't generate anything with AI while you play, and it doesn't connect to any AI service.
