In-game event27 Aug 2026Introducing Leopold and Reginald + First Post-Launch PatchOvertrick launched on Monday, and tons of challengers have stormed the House of Diamonds! If you’ve managed to defeat Ada and Zelda, congratulations, and well played! But in the Hearts Tourney, you’ll find some new opponents, including the proprietors of the House of Spades: Leopold and Reginald. Next week, you’ll find Leopold and Reginald in the Clubhouse. They can be a tricky pair to take on,…
Overtrick's Demo is now available in five languages! Thanks to our wonderful translation team, you can now play in Chinese, English, French, German, or Portuguese . If you see any issues or want to suggest changes, I’d certainly appreciate you letting me know ( join our Discord server! ). We also localized the game trailer for all languages, and I wanted to write about making that happen! Norma…
Want even MORE Overtrick? I do, and step one is making a bit more space in the UI. Game Mode Selection Hit “Play,” and you’ll now see a few new buttons: · The Clubhouse. Leaderboards and Weekly Challenges now live in the Clubhouse. · House of Diamonds. Start your run here, and take down Edith, Wanda, Wesley, and Edward. · Hearts Tourney. This won’t be available in the demo, but this week’s chal…
Ready for new opponents? Then head over to this week’s challenge! Nina and Sylvia are waiting, armed with some truly mind-bending boss slam abilities. I’m especially excited about Nina and Sylvia, not just because they bring an unparalleled fashion sense to the table, but because of what they represent for the future of Overtrick. To bring them to life, I had to completely rebuild the opponent…

You can now unlock Challenges: short, 6-round runs, where you start with a curated set of special cards. Careful! Even in Round 1, you'll need t…
Sometimes, a tiny request balloons into a massive update. @sliynk's request seemed reasonable enough, and a few other players also seemed excited. So I added a way to activate "Play Something Else" after the trick was over. But then I needed a way to say, "actually, I don't want to activate it," so I added a skip button. And then that skip button was annoying to press, so I added auto-skip. And…
For all you gamepad controller and Steam Deck players, this one’s for you! I added icons and glyphs to Overtrick’s UI, to make it clearer which buttons to press when using a controller. Generally, you can use the left d-pad or left control stick to navigate through your cards or any menus, “A” to select something, and “B” to deselect. Steam Deck is currently my preferred way of playing Overtric…
BIG update incoming! First thing you’ll notice is new art for a new title screen and team selection menu. And who are those mysterious figures in the doorway? Guess we’ll have to wait for the full game to find out… Trick-taking gameplay also got an overhaul. The background, character interactions, and passive ability icons all got updated. I also made some changes to actually playing tricks, th…
First update notes! Last week, I made a bunch of improvements to interactions with playing cards and characters. Let's dive in! Character Interactions! Most noticeably, Edith now reacts to gameplay: celebrating victories and mourning defeat. You may also more generally notice all the characters reacting more, since I added additional emphasis on reactions. Card Interactions! New animations and…
