Card Capture

About the game

What is Card Capture?

Card Capture is a relatively simple introduction to the Deck Building genre using a standard deck of 54 playing cards. Players start with the smallest cards in the deck and slowly use them to purchase higher-valued cards, while at the same time strategically thinning their draw decks and avoiding the capture of their own valuable cards. Card Capture is the winner of the Best card game using a traditional deck of playing cards in the 2018 Solitaire Print and Play Game Design Contest.
