Luck be a Landlord is a roguelike deckbuilder about using a slot machine to earn rent money and defeat capitalism. This game does not contain any real-world currency gambling or microtransactions.
The game's core loop revolves around spinning a slot machine and choosing which new symbols to add. Players start with a basic set of symbols, and with each spin, they select one to place on their virtual slot machine. The real depth comes from understanding how these symbols interact with each other. For example, the "Chef" symbol doubles the value of any adjacent food items, while the "Dwarf" symbol will consume nearby alcoholic beverages for a big payout. Discovering and exploiting these synergies is key to building an optimized slot machine that can consistently earn enough coins to pay the ever-increasing rent.
