A deckbuilder of artisanal carnage: assemble a recipe engine, flirt with disaster on pH/aw/salt, and time seals to bend the rules. Bank the batch for profit… or push your luck until everything spoils.

Charcuterie Clash is a fast, replayable deckbuilder about meat, math, and momentum. Build a ruthless recipe engine, ride the pH / aw / salt gauges to the edge, and slam seals that bend the rules. Cash out for absurd profit… or draw once more and watch the batch spoil.How we got here: After twenty years in tech and four years elbow-deep in artisanal salami, I wanted a game where numbers feel delicious. Charcuterie Clash is that: a deckbuilder where you flirt with disaster, pop seals, and walk away richer—or hungrier.<h2 class="bb_tag" >The Core Loop</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Play recipe cards to process the batch and nudge the gauges.</li><li>Chain combos to multiply value and set up a massive cash-out.</li><li>Time your seals—single-use, rule-breaking stamps that turn “pretty good” into “oh no the numbers are silly now.”</li><li>Bank the batch before it turns. Greed pays… until it doesn’t.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Gauges That Actually Matter</h2>Every card touches pH, water activity (aw), or salt. Push them for profit; push too far and the run goes sideways.<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Hover at danger for bigger multipliers.</li><li>Recover with “safety” cards or a clutch seal.</li><li>Learn to love numbers you never knew you’d care about.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Seals = Controlled Cheating</h2>Once-per-run (or rare) effects that break normal rules:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Double a scoring window</li><li>Flip a gauge trend</li><li>Convert risk into instant cash Using them well feels illegal. (It isn’t. Mostly.)</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Deckbuilding, Butcher-Style</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Start with a lean starter deck; draft recipes, tools, and tricks.</li><li>Cull duds at the shop, reroll for synergies, and lock a signature flavor.</li><li>Short, snacky runs with serious replay—discover lines that make you cackle.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Shop Shenanigans</h2>Spend gold to reroll, buy seals, snag rares, and sell high when the market’s hot (and you’re not on fire).<h2 class="bb_tag" >Fail Forward, Laugh Forward</h2>Misplays are funny on purpose. “I sold air for +900” is a valid strategy… sometimes.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Session Length &amp; Feel</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>10–20 minute runs</li><li>Thinky, not fiddly—crisp feedback, crunchy SFX</li><li>Endless “one more run” energy</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Why You’ll Love It</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Deckbuilder first: cards, synergies, lines to discover</li><li>Push-your-luck tension: bank now or chase the absurd</li><li>Distinct fantasy: charcuterie + score-attack, somehow perfect together</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Accessibility &amp; Options</h2>Adjustable text size and high-contrast UI • Audio sliders (UI, music, tally SFX) • Color assists on gauge states • Mouse/keyboard now; controller support on the roadmap
