Win by emptying your hand. Abjure is a roguelike deckbuilder built on Big 2 — the classic card game played across East Asia and beyond. Learn it in minutes. Master it over dozens of runs. How It Plays Draft your hand from piles between fights Fight opponents in turn-based card combat — play higher than what they played, or pass Empty your hand first to win the round Collect gold, visit the shop, buy shop relics, use shop consumables, and fight again A boss waits every fourth round Die and start over — permadeath, no exceptions Characters Each character changes how you think about every draft and every fight. Clairvoyant Picky Switcheroo Dupe Greedy Relics Relics change the rules for the rest of your run. Build around what you find — some reward cutting your deck to the bone, some reward bloating it. The Shop Earn gold from fights — more for winning efficiently, more for never passing. Save up to earn interest. Borrow from the Loan Shark if you need it. Spend on cards, removals, reveals, consumables, and fight modifiers. Game Modes Roguelike Mode — Pick a character, draft a deck, run eight levels, hit bosses, spend gold, win or die, and go again. Classic Big 2 — The original card game as a standalone mode, no roguelike layer, for when you just want the cards. Abjure is in active development by a solo developer.
