Puzzle Game
Sumward is a number-synergy roguelite deckbuilder built on Balatro's chassis with the portfolio's arithmetic DNA. Draft number cards, play hands that form patterns — pairs, runs, sum-to-ten, prime sets — score chips times mult, and stack relics until the math breaks. Beat eight escalating rounds, survive the bosses from round 3 on, then go infinite.
Free to start · $4.99 full unlock · Play Pass available



How it plays
Play hands that form pairs, runs, sum-to-ten, or prime sets. Each pattern scores chips times a multiplier — find the overlap and the numbers explode.
Clear a round to reach The Exchange: twenty-two relics, number packs, foil/holo/gild enhancements, and a deck shredder. Build a deck that snowballs out of control.
Static Field at round 4 takes your discards; The Auditor at round 8 scores junk hands at zero. A boss lands every round from the third on, and your deck has to answer the question each one asks.
Beat eight escalating rounds and the run keeps going. The only ceiling is how hard you can make the math break.
Why we built it
Sumward exists because deckbuilder roguelites are perfect engines for 'just one more run' — and arithmetic patterns are a synergy language everyone already speaks.
Who it is for
Roguelite deckbuilder fans — anyone who lost a week to Balatro — who like synergy-stacking, run variety, and big satisfying score swings.
How a run works
Draft → play patterns → score chips × mult → shop the Exchange → stack relics → break round 8 → go infinite.
Sumward is free to start — the ranked Daily plus three casual runs a day, with the full relic and enhancement pool available from the start. The full unlock removes the daily run cap for unlimited runs and opens the Ledger: lifetime run stats and a readable history of your builds and results.
