Roguelike deckbuilding turn based tactical racing car building game

Car D Game (the D stands for driving) The car runs on real simulated physics, but you never touch a steering wheel in real time. Instead, the race pauses every couple of seconds: you see a projection of where your car is headed, play cards accelerate, brake, shift, turn, boost and preview exactly how your line changes before you commit. Then the simulation runs, momentum carries, tyres slip, and the next turn begins.

No reflexes required. All the depth of racecraft braking points, gear strategy, heat and grip management as a strategy puzzle instead of a reflex test. If you love cars and engineering but real-time sims lock you out, this game was built for you.

Your parts are your deck

There is no separate deck screen: the cards in your hand come from the parts bolted to your car. Install a racing engine and its acceleration cards appear in your hand. Upgrade your brakes and your braking cards hit harder. Between races you visit the garage to buy, sell and install parts. every build decision is a deckbuilding decision, and every car is a different playstyle.

A roguelike campaign

Each run is a gauntlet: climb a ladder of increasingly difficult races, earning cash and choosing new parts after each win. Lose a race and you lose a life; run out of lives and the run is over. Along the way you pick up driver skills; permanent passive bonuses that stack and shape your build. Every run starts fresh, and no two builds play the same.
