Overview
About this game
You sat down. You picked up the cards. The room closed around you.
Grimshaw's Blotto is a gothic 1v1 card-and-dice strategy game of hidden plays, cruel drafts, and blood-bought power. Build two lanes, tuck your effects face-down, then reveal and roll. Your dice are your attack and your defense at once: win a lane, and the difference in rolls becomes damage.
Every round makes the table meaner. Draft stronger dice and harsher effects between rounds. Hide blessings, curses, and Pith beside your visible bones. Spend Dram to claim power now and survive the cost later. After the first lane resolves, the winner can Press and turn the second lane into a double-damage gamble. Every decision is a bluff. Every bluff is a wound waiting to open.
Climb through Grimshaw's Inner Circle in a single-player campaign as the room grows colder, the faces less human, and the table shows more of its hunger. Or sit across from another player online and learn how much either of you is willing to bleed before you break.
