What is DTC?

Death By A Thousand Cards started years ago as a tabletop game played with a single deck of Tarot cards between two players.

We’re planning to take DTC to the next level by transforming it a full-fledged video game.

But what is the game actually like? DTC is a one vs. one, strategy-based card/board game. It takes place on a unique map: a river dividing two castles, wilderness, outposts, an underground dungeon, and a dragon’s cave.

It features characters that function as both spell cards and “champions” (players choose to play as a champion each game), and are part of an exciting story of regicide and betrayal loosely inspired by Shakespearean tragedies.

Most importantly, DTC emphasises free-flowing creativity with limitless options rather than mandatory playstyles. With five types of cards, a different character to play as every game, numerous structures and items to purchase, a dungeon to explore, and dragons to possibly manipulate, the game never gets boring.
