Saloon Showdown: A Card-Slingin’ Roguelike Adventure

Saloon Showdown is a poker-style roguelike game like Balatro played across 10 levels, each with three blinds that grow tougher as you progress. The goal is to build the strongest poker hand possible and outscore the house.

The Starting Hand

Each round begins with a draw of 8 cards. You’ll select 5 to play in your hand, while the rest remain in your holster until the next round. Once played, cards can’t be reused in that blind. Winning depends on scoring enough points to beat the blind.

Hands and Multipliers

Every poker hand earns points, with stronger combinations granting higher multipliers:

High Card – 0 points, 0× multiplier

One Pair – 10 points, 2× multiplier

Two Pair – 15 points, 2× multiplier

Three of a Kind – 20 points, 3× multiplier

Straight – 30 points, 4× multiplier

Flush – 35 points, 4× multiplier

Full House – 35 points, 5× multiplier

Four of a Kind – 40 points, 6× multiplier

Straight Flush – 45 points, 7× multiplier

Royal Flush – 50 points, 8× multiplier

Coins and Boosters

Winning blinds earns coins, which can be spent between rounds on booster cards. Boosters add unique effects that strengthen future hands—some double scores, others add wild cards, or even allow rerolls.

If your strategy shifts, boosters can be sold, though at a cost. Deciding what to keep or drop adds depth to each run, with different card choices shaping the outcome of the final showdown.

Every run plays out differently, keeping Saloon Showdown unpredictable and replayable. Success depends on balancing luck with smart decision-making across all 10 levels.
