Balanced

Balance the Scale in this relaxing card game. Make cozy combos, bend the rules, and maintain harmony as long as you can!

How to play:

• Drag Value cards to either tray of the scale to add their number to that side.
• Use Operator cards to add, multiply, merge, or split cards! Manipulate your deck to take strategic advantage.
• Pick up Action cards, that can get you out of tough situations! Skip your turn, discard unneeded cards, or reset the current imbalance to 0!
• Watch out for Curses, as they are out to get you! They can reduce your maximum imbalance, decrease your score, or even remove cards from your deck!
  
• Constant Improvements will make your deck durable to the ever-growing challenges. Make sure to raise your draw count, build up your passive bonus score, or increase the maximum imbalance to prolong the inevitable!

The game was made in under 48 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2024. The theme was Built to Scale.

While we wanted to keep the Jam Version as is on itch, we continued working on the game, and a heavily improved & reworked version is now available on Steam:
