Scoundrel
A SIMPLE ROGUELITE
I'm still working on some things but the game is playable! The original game was created by Zach Gage and Kurt Bieg
HOW TO PLAY
ARROW KEYS (Select your card)
X KEY (Attack with Fist | Use Potion | Pick up weapon)
Z KEY (Attack with Weapon)
RULES
- There are only 44 cards to the deck. (The RED face cards have been removed)
- DMD (Diamonds) - Are weapons you can pick up. If you have a weapon attached it will automatically gain a attack limit (BLACK card behind it). You can only attack monsters of the SAME or LOWER limit attached to the weapon. If you don't have a weapon or your weapon limit is too low, you can attack with your FIST.
- HRT (Hearts) - Health Potions. YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE POTION PER ROOM!
- SPD | CLB (Spades and Clubs) - Monster cards which rank from 2-14 (J(11),Q(12),K(13),A(14))
- Each new dungeon room has four cards to get past. Once you have 1 card left in your hand you move on to the next room.
- You have the option to FLEE a room if you choose. Those cards will be shuffled back into the BOTTOM of your deck. You cannot FLEE two rooms consecutively.
SCORING
- Getting out of the dungeon means playing through the entire deck. Once you have played all the cards and none remain, your score will be your current HP points.
- If you have ZERO HP points, the game ends. All monsters left in the dungeon are subtracted from your ZERO HP.

This is my favorite version of the game. Definitely got me debating trying my hand at my own version with some custom rules.
I love Scoundrel. I'd like you to keep the rule that a damaged weapon can only be used on a lower value monster. I like to play with the red aces. That would be a nice option.
Fun little game The Sailor. It's challenging, so i'll keep going at it.
I like the art in it, i can recognize your style.
Cool to see your games here, best wishes.
