● Playable demoFairground roguelite

House Edge

Beat the Baron's challenge. Then take the piggy bank, or dare for more.

House Edge is a roguelite fairground run. The greedy Baron owns every booth at the fair, and every one of them is rigged. Each night he sets a tougher challenge and gives you a limited number of tries: drop balls through a peg board, pull the candy machine's lever, spin the prize wheel or outplay his puppet at 21, and beat his score before you run out.

Before each night you prepare your booth. Pick a booth rule, accept one of the Baron's tricks for a bigger prize, buy upgrades, stack up to three boosts, then choose how daring you want to be. Your winnings go into your piggy bank, and every night you survive makes the next challenge harder.

Then comes the real decision: take on the next challenge, or take the piggy bank and go. Fail a night and the Baron takes most of it back. Every run makes you more famous, and fame forces the Baron to open new booths and dress up the fair: ten booths, each with its own mechanics, upgrades and quests. Beat him at every one and the fair's deed is yours.
