Dreadfold

Dreadfold is a dark fantasy card game in the shape of Triple Triad. 320 hand-painted cards, 48 rivals across 8 cursed regions, a 3×3 grid where one bad placement loses the match. No loot boxes, no pay-to-win.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >One misplaced card can flip the whole match.</h2><br>Dreadfold plays on a 3×3 grid. You have 5 cards in hand from a collection of 320, and you place them one at a time against a rival master. Adjacent cards compare values. Higher number captures the lower. Simple rules, deep consequences.<br><br>If you loved Triple Triad in Final Fantasy VIII, this is built on those same foundations. Just a full game instead of a minigame.<br><br><span class="bb_img_ctn"><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4591940/extras/9d1fdddf330110c4c2bbba0e55ee56b1.poster.avif?t=1776967391" width=640 height=360 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4591940/extras/9d1fdddf330110c4c2bbba0e55ee56b1.webm?t=1776967391" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4591940/extras/9d1fdddf330110c4c2bbba0e55ee56b1.mp4?t=1776967391" type="video/mp4"></video></span><h2 class="bb_tag" >320 cards, all hand-painted</h2><br>Every card was painted by hand.
