Game Title: Tahúr: A Blackjack Adventure
Playable Link: https://tahurgame.com/play/
Platform: Web browser (computers, tablets and phones)
Description:
Tahúr is a blackjack roguelike: you play twenty-one head to head against a rival, not the house. Win five sets, or three in a row, to take the match. Powerups bend the rules: peek at the next card, swap a hidden card, move the target. You mark cards in your deck for good, like an ace that counts as anything. And every district's kingpin breaks their own table's rules once you push them to match point.
New this week, online play is drafted. You and your rival each keep one of two powerups, twice, from the same tier. Then the shoe gets random marked cards for both of you: same tiers, different cards. Your collection stays home, so a brand-new player starts even. Play casual or ranked, rematch in one tap, or send a friend a link and they sit straight down. If nobody's online, practice the draft against Vic.
Also in Early Access: chapters 1 and 2 of the story (five kingpins, 25 rooms), 67 powerups and 31 card marks in five tiers, the Ladder (an endless climb), a Daily Deal that's the same for everyone, and mystery boxes for the coins you win, with the odds on the label. You can't buy coins.
No download or sign-up, and it works on phones. No ads, nothing to buy, no real money.
I'd love to hear two things: did the draft feel fair, and what confused you in your first five minutes?

Involvement: I'm the developer, and it's built with AI. I designed the game and its rules, playtested it and steered every round of changes. Claude, Anthropic's AI, wrote the code and the dialogue, composed the music as code and drew the art as code. No image generators and no AI voices. The game's credits say the same.
