Dance of Cards is a tactical gambling RPG where you try to survive seven days of a deadly cruise by playing poker.
The core gameplay revolves around playing poker, but each character has special "Talents" that provide distinct advantages. For example, some can swap a card with an opponent, steal their chips, or even reverse the rules of the game. This adds an extra strategic layer as players must consider not only their poker hands, but also how to best utilize their character's unique abilities. The game also features different poker variants, such as sudden death modes where the player with the lowest chips is eliminated after a certain number of hands.
One compelling aspect is the ability to form a team of characters to compete in poker tournaments. Each character has their own playstyle and abilities, so players must carefully choose their team composition to synergize their skills and increase their chances of success. This team-building element adds an extra layer of strategy and replayability, as players experiment with different combinations.
In addition to poker and character abilities, the game incorporates bluffing and trust mechanics. Players can try to build trust with other characters, unlocking additional story content and potentially helpful actions. However, betraying that trust can have dire consequences. This creates an interesting dynamic where players must balance cooperation with self-preservation.
A key strength is the unpredictable nature of the poker matches. Due to the inherent randomness of poker, as well as the special abilities and game modes, the outcome of any given match is never certain. This keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging, as players must constantly adapt to changing circumstances. The generous save system also allows experimentation without fear of significant progress loss.
Beyond the core story campaign, the game offers additional gameplay modes and features that enhance replayability. These include a quick play mode for custom poker games with AI, an online multiplayer mode, and a tournament mode. As players progress, they unlock new content and abilities, providing incentive to revisit the story and try different approaches.
