About:
King's Bet is a dark, steampunk-themed roguelite deckbuilder where players use high-stakes poker logic to power industrial machine combat. After a kingdom falls into ruin due to a gambling plague, the King casts the most notorious gamblers into The Well; a deep, industrial pit filled with rusted machinery and failed experiments. To earn your freedom, you must salvage derelict weapons and "fuel" them using your gambling skills. This time, you aren't playing for money; you are playing for your life.
Story:
In a kingdom once consumed by a terminal gambling plague, the King has delivered a final, brutal judgment. To punish the idleness of his people, he has cast the most notorious gamblers into The Well; a deep, ancient industrial pit filled with discarded machinery and rusted failed experiments. As one of these exiled gamblers, your only hope for mercy lies in your ability to survive this mechanical labyrinth. You must salvage derelict steampunk weapons and 'fuel' them with your gambling skills to fight your way back to the surface. In The Well, you aren't playing for gold anymore; you are playing for your life.
