2.0 Doubling Down! Update Patch Notes

New floors:

This update adds 4 new floors, complete with new foes, events, and music! After making your initial choice at the end of the Tavern, you will now have a second choice at the end of VIP Area and Casino.

• After VIP Area, choose between the existing path through Head Office and Hope, or a new path through Laboratory and Apathy.

• After Casino, choose between the existing path through the Dungeon and Despair, or a new path through Surveillance and Anxiety.

Lucky Charms:

Lucky Charms are new items that are collected during your run that have permanent, always-on effects. You'll be given one at the start of Jack's Tavern, then one in the middle of each floor after the Tavern. As you go, they'll be added to your Collection.

Bosses will also have Lucky Charms at Double Down! and higher difficulties.

(These are just a few of the 50+ charms you'll come across!)

High Stakes:

After winning at least one run you'll unlock High Stakes, which is a new mode that lets you twist the existing rules of the game by starting a Daily or Custom run.

• Daily Runs - a randomly chosen deck, and three randomly chosen modifiers

• Custom Runs - choose from a list of modifiers, and input your own seed

New cards:

• Gift Card

  • On play: -3 value, then give a ??? to your draw pile.
