About This Game

"If you're out of luck, cheat your way to victory!"

Blosharper is a hardcore roguelike deckbuilder built around Korean Hwatu cards, where you forge card combinations to break each round's target score. Burdened by a crushing, insurmountable debt, you find yourself trapped in a deadly underground gambling den. There is only one way out: survive the ever-escalating deathmatches and pay off what you owe.

But playing fair won't save you here. You must unlock, combine, and execute dozens of powerful Trick Skills to break the system!

🎴 Pick, Play, Multiply

Pick up to five of the eight cards on the green felt and Play them, or Discard the ones you don't need. Every hand is Score × Multi, and the multiplier compounds as combinations overlap and cheats pile up.

🎲 Go or Stop?

Beat the target and the real choice arrives: Stop and pocket your winnings, or call Go and double the target. Every Go increases the winnings tallied on the FINAL SCORE board, but miss the new target and it's Game Over on the spot. If you're scared, fold!

👹 The Boss Takes a Seat

Every 4 rounds, the top bar burns red, the felt sinks into a dark reddish brown, and a boss sits down. Bosses tax your score, ban cards, hide them, seal your cheats or put you on the clock, and if you miss the target, you pay with your body.

🚪 Doors of Reward

Beat a boss and the Doors of Reward stand as three cards: a Specialist to rework your deck, a Noble Envelope holding a magic card, and the Sleight of Hand of the boss you just beat. The more times you called Go that round, the more doors you can pick.

💊 The Back-alley Pharmacy

At Madam Hong's pharmacy, patch yourself up, take Skill Training, buy intel and bank your money. But everything costs more the higher your level climbs, and your debt compounds with every New Game.

🔥 Key Features

  • Deceptive Deckbuilding: Layer over 100 bizarre and powerful Trick Skills on top of Hwatu hands to craft your ultimate scam build.

Can you pay back every last coin and walk out into the sunlight once again?
