<Indebted Duke> is a deck-building game where you manage your estate by building your deck. Step into the shoes of a medieval duke (deep in debt) managing his estate. You are the duke who has succeeded your incompetent older brother. You must revive your debt-ridden estate and pay off your debts. Estate residents—such as knights, farmers, and cooks—will become your deck, providing you with their respective cards. Each resident has cards specific to their profession. Farmers produce wheat, and cooks process the wheat into flour to bake bread and generate income. If a cook uses all the flour in your hand at once to bake bread, you can earn a large sum of money. Decks based on agriculture, mining, and commerce are ready. Manage your estate with your own unique deck! A cook can change careers to become a baker. And if that baker marries a knight... their child will become a knight who bakes. From knights who bake to guards who mine, the villagers grow stronger with each generation. Every aspect of the villagers’ lives—from raising children to changing careers, marriage, and childbirth—becomes your business! Bandits who target your fiefdom will attack periodically. You must defend against them alongside your villagers. At first, weak groups will come, but as time passes, increasingly powerful groups will attack. Train villagers such as guards, knights, and assassins to defeat them! Each uses their own unique skills in battle. Assassins flank the enemy formation to strike from behind, while crossbowmen rapidly fire their crossbows. <Indebted Duke> is designed as a card game where you build and manage your own fiefdom by turning your subjects into cards, with their recruitment and class changes forming the deck-building process. Additionally, the game offers a challenging experience through periodic battles and debt repayment mechanics. - Strategic gameplay involving raising units with strong cards and skills to build your deck - “Genetic Deck Building” where you marry units with strong cards and pass their traits down - The tension of periodic battles and unpredictable random events - A casual medieval fantasy world brought to life with charming pixel art
