ARCANA 1.5: Online Duels

major update

Arcana · published · build 26269988

Online duels


The House of Souls opens its doors. Sit down across the table from another player in a two-player poker duel: share a tarot spread, bet your souls, swap cards, trade arcana and secret potions between hands and show your best play. Ten hands. Whoever keeps more souls wins. The House plays by its own rules: its own tarot cards, its own arcana and its own music.

  • ONLINE DUEL finds you an opponent among Steam players.
  • DUEL A FRIEND sends an invite to anyone on your Steam friends list.

The House of Souls


Rather play against the House? Six creatures take turns at the table, each one with its own quirk. The GRIMOIRE has already saved you a seat. Your wins, your best hand and your biggest pot are all kept in DUELS > STATS.

A new boss


Something has slipped out of the deck. SISYPHUS doesn't show up in every run, but you'll know when it does.

More story


The robot has more to say about the road you're on, the deck whispers, and the bosses you beat let something slip. The creatures of the House have their own stories too. And the sky won't stay the same as the run goes on.

New hands and a deck that grows

  • Four new hands: Rainbow, Skip Straight, Blaze and Checkerboard.
  • Cards from packs are added to your deck, and you can look through the whole deck at any time.
  • Arcana slots full? Open the pack anyway and swap one out.

Tarot spreads


Every stretch of the run deals three minor arcana that bend the rules for a while. Not all of them are on your side. And a new major arcanum joins the deck: THE HERMIT.

New potions


New potions to trim your deck and to copy one card onto another.

And also

  • A GRAPHICS option and a sharper image.
  • Sell arcana in two clicks and reorder them by dragging.
  • Clearer counters and plenty of fixes.

See you at the table.
