Demo Patchnotes 2 - Big Changes

Deckbuilder Mode

At the start of each run, players can now choose between Poker Mode and Deckbuilder Mode.

Deckbuilder Mode removes some of the game's traditional Hold'em mechanics, such as the Pot, betting/raising and the ship's hand. All related booties, tonics and badges are not obtainable.

It's designed for players who want to focus on the deckbuilding aspect of Broadside Bets... rather than actually playing poker.

Deckbuilder Mode does not make the game easier in any way, so definitely give it a try if you enjoy a more classic roguelike deckbuilding experience.
