March 10, 2025: Solitomb

Recently, while I was poking around itch.io trying to fill out tax forms to get a payout for a fun and interesting reason, the site's front page directed me to Solitomb. It's a wee roguelite card battler (which you can even try on the game page, right from your browser!), and I was instantly charmed. It's a delicious mix of solitaire, poker, and dungeon crawl.

The rules are simple, but it packs a tactical punch – if you enjoy Balatro and Slay the Spire, I'd recommend playing a few rounds. Right now, the game is pay-what-you-want on itch, with your money going to support development on an expanded edition (which you can wishlist on Steam to stay updated).
