It'll Hold

It'll Hold is a poker roguelike about building a tower out of playing cards. Every hand you play becomes part of the building. Pick your cards, place the piece, and hope the numbers stand up.


Play a hand, lay a floor. Pairs, straights, full houses: the poker hand sets the shape of the floor piece, one cell per card.

Place it yourself. Slide and turn the piece on a 9×9 plot. Hang it over the edge if you must, but something solid has to hold it up.

Stack suits for Mult. New cells pay Chips. Every matching suit straight underneath adds +0.1 Mult. Chips × Mult is your score.

Beat the target or it comes down. Each floor has a target and three or four hands to reach it. Fall short and the tower collapses.

Every two or three floors the crew downs tools. Spend your coins on packs, keep one card from each, and head back to the site stronger.

44 crew members, each with one clear effect. Hire up to five and sell the ones you've outgrown.

12 Materials that add floor cells, fill holes, pay extra Chips or buy you another hand.

15 card enhancements, from Steel and Glue to Gold-Plated, that stay with the cell they're built into.

Level up nine poker patterns so your favourite hands build bigger.

Build a tower: an endless climb across five buildings, from Residential Block to Super Skyscraper. Go high enough and you leave the clouds behind, then the planet.

Contracts: take jobs off the Contract Board, build in stages, pass the Inspection, then turn up the Building Regulations.
