Blackout Jack

Blackout Jack is a dark, strange, story-driven roguelite deckbuilder where you literally bet your life. Surviving at the table takes building powerful synergies and combos to meet increasing quotas. But be warned, the house always wins.

Roam the crooked streets for answers before your next run. Uncover poisons and lockpicks, barter for information, and gradually decode the mystery in this unusual world that resets with each failed attempt. Follow the clues and piece together the path to your salvation: kill the dealer.


At the table
Roguelite Blackjack: Blackout Jack twists classic blackjack into a rogue-lite card system built around risk of death. Enhancements, life-paid chips, and multi-hand play transform a familiar casino game into a richer tactical contest against a dangerous dealer.

Manipulate the Cards: Winning means bending the rules in your favor. Build powerful synergies with boons, elixirs, altered cards, multipliers, and strange effects that can turn a doomed hand into a run worth continuing. Between rounds, visit the hostess to buy items and elixirs using blood gems.

In the City
Step Away from the Table: The game expands beyond blackjack into a grim midnight street corner filled with conspirators, secrets, tools, and opportunities. Search for poisons, lockpicks, information, and other advantages that may help players return to the table with a better plan.

A Murder Loop: Death resets the night, yet knowledge carries forward. Learn more about the dealer, the city, and the conspiracy surrounding both as you slowly piece together a plan to survive the table.
