Strive Card Demo

Build a Niu Niu. Push one hand into the billions.

Strive Card is a deckbuilding roguelike built on Niu Niu poker hands. Each turn you pick five cards, turn them into a Niu Niu or a Five Flower, and convert that hand into Chips and Mult — then let your Strive Cards multiply the whole thing. Damage = Chips x Mult, and hands in the billions are normal here.

Order is damage

Additive cards on the left, multipliers on the right. Strive Cards resolve left to right, and every x recalculates the Mult you have at that moment — so the + cards to its right get amplified by it. Drag a Strive Card to reorder the chain: the same hand can be worth several times more. Building to Plan copies the Strive Card to its right, so two of them stacked make a copy chain.

Three card types, one deck that keeps escalating

• Strive Cards — persistent abilities, the backbone of your build, from Common to Legendary.
• Tech Cards — one-shot tools: copy two cards, rewrite ranks and suits, add editions.
• Thought Cards — upgrade your hand types so Niu Niu itself hits harder.
• Achievements — permanent passives that rewrite shop size, slots and interest.

24 solar terms, 8 stage bosses

A run spans 24 solar-term blinds, three to a stage, each stage ending in a boss with a disaster: Haze hides your Strive Cards, Tornado disables one per turn, Wildfire burns a hand level. Three difficulties — Strive Against Man, Earth and Heaven — each with their own health curve and shop rules.

A new deck every run

Between blinds you visit the shop: buy cards, open packs, reroll the shelf, and earn interest on whatever you don't spend. Finishing in-run tasks permanently unlocks new Strive Cards and characters, while your Collection and Run History keep a record of every build and your best hit.
