## Kitsmith's take

Editorial-override inclusion (docs/PIVOT.md rule 5): not in the approved-candidate pool, but it’s the foundational game the deckbuilding-roguelike genre (including Balatro, also in this list) gets compared against, with a confirmed native Mac build via Steam rather than a Windows-only port.

## Features

- **Deckbuilding roguelike:** Build a card deck as you climb the Spire, with runs that end permanently on death.
- **Four playable characters:** Each with its own card pool and playstyle.
- **Daily and custom runs:** Daily challenge runs and fully customizable seeded/modded runs alongside the main campaign.
