Discard

Game premise and gameplay mechanics

Discard is a roguelike deckbuilder where you physically throw cards to score points. Each card acts as a tangible object subject to environmental factors like wind and surfaces. During gameplay, the wind's strength and direction change each round, forcing you to adapt your throwing strategies. You can bank shots off rails or lob cards to clear space and create stacks, emphasizing skillful throwing to manipulate card trajectories.

Scoring and risk management

Scoring is influenced by the skillful placement of cards into pockets, which feed into a pot that raises your multiplier. You aim to maximize your score through skill shots, combos, and risk management: cash out too early, and you miss points; fail to throw accurately, and you lose what you've earned. The game emphasizes quick decisions and rewards skilled throws, with each round lasting only minutes.
