Steam Achievements are now live.

Twenty-five achievements have been added across The Card Game: Judge and Chess.

Steam can now permanently document your victories, poor decisions, and increasingly difficult-to-explain behavior.

Judge Achievements

Judge achievements cover:

  • Winning verdicts

  • Finishing and winning matches

  • Dual sweeps

  • Power-up abuse

  • Opening the Grimoire

  • Surviving a full council of eight human players

  • Developing a deeply concerning career record

Chess Achievements

Chess achievements cover:

  • Casual victories

  • Carnage victories

  • Chaos victories

  • Online checkmates

  • Castling

  • Pawn promotion

  • Draws

  • Defeating, or merely surviving, the Hard engine

Five achievements are hidden.

Steam will reveal them once you commit the relevant offense.

Progress and Online Credit

  • Achievement progress is remembered across sessions.

  • Unlocks now queue and retry if Steam briefly loses the paperwork.

  • Online achievement events have been hardened so non-host players receive proper credit too.

The host no longer gets to control the historical record.

This first set focuses on Judge and Chess.

More achievements will arrive alongside future modes.

Twenty-five new ways to prove you were here.

Unfortunately, so were we.
