Build a plan from the cards you are offered
Cards, relics and route choices shape a deck over the course of a run. Pick it when adapting to available options is more appealing than carrying out moves with precise timing.
Before you choose: A failed run ends the deck you built. Enjoying experimentation matters more than keeping a permanent set of powerful cards.
For your next game, compare deck-building, route choices and adapting each run.

Slay the Spire is a single-player roguelike deckbuilder with turn-based card combat. Choose a character and build a deck during each attempt to climb the Spire. Cards and relics interact, so each reward can strengthen your current plan or pull the deck in a different direction. The route changes between runs, with choices between safer paths and greater risks. Four characters have different card pools, and encounters, events and bosses vary between climbs.
