Our take on Deck 'Em!
The store framing leans heavily on replayability and casual workplace play, while the actual structure is a small card game built around repeated 3–5 minute fights. The boxing theme supplies context, but the main activity is sequencing and managing a fixed 52-card deck.
What is Deck 'Em!?
Deck ’Em!
is a solitaire-style boxing card game built around surviving a twelve-round fight against the Champ. Each fight uses 52 cards, with Punch, Block, and Heal cards dealt during the rounds. Cards must be played or held according to number sequences and rules, while decisions about when to attack, defend, recover, or gamble affect the outcome and prize-money score. Fights can be completed in about 3–5 minutes, though each round can take longer when planning moves. The game uses a default windowed display, with a full-screen option available. Each fight presents a different combination of decisions, and the game supports repeated attempts with wins and losses.
