Field a survivor and a line of three creatures, every contestant is a mutated version of a real North American animal, entered under its true natural history - then play cards, roll dice, and hold the center.

Variance is a choice: every creature is tagged safe, swingy, or jackpot, so the gamble is always one you opted into and everyone watches the die land.

No skip button - the animations are the interface. Play live 1v1 by invite link, run single-elimination Gauntlets with medals, or fight the House. Currently in open early access.
