Beat Death at cards. ȘEPTAR is a roguelite deckbuilder built on Șeptică , the Romanian shedding card game — the one your grandmother actually played. Underneath the familiar 36-card deck runs a score-chasing engine: stage your cards into chains, fire them for points × a length multiplier , and race a living opponent who's trying to do the same. The longer you hold, the bigger the payoff — and the more the opponent races ahead. Cash out now, or build the monster chain? The wild 7 is your weapon The 7 is fully wild — it bridges any chain. The 2 is an attack — fire it to rip cards out of your opponent's hand. Every relic and character bends these rules in a different direction. Sculpt a run 59 relics — passive rule-benders drafted between races. Stack them, chasesynergies, break the math. Beat a boss and loot their signature relic. 4 characters — The Gambler, The Hoarder, The Septar, The Widow. Each warpsthe rules from the first card. A sculpted deck — burn, forge, and reforge your cards across a run. Deckcomposition is a build axis. Card blessings — permanent per-card upgrades, stamped on for the whole run. Climb the folk-tale ladder Win back the road home one card-table at a time. Face a gauntlet of folkloric figures — the Innkeeper, the Crone, the Wolf, the Revenant, the Witch, the Storm-Caller — all the way to the Dragon, who is Death holding the final mile. 6 Ascension tiers of stacking difficulty, a recurring nemesis that returns stronger every run, and a daily seed with leaderboards.
