Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the US publication of his New York Times best-selling trilogy, Beddor today announced a brand-new video game, The Looking Glass Wars: House of Cards, coming to Steam this summer.

Departing from traditional Alice in Wonderland whimsy, The Looking Glass Wars: House of Cards invites players back into Beddor’s war-torn vision of the realm. This single-player, strategic deck builder blends the DNA of tabletop classics like Rummikub and Mahjong with modern tactical depth. Players must navigate a darker, high-stakes world where iconic characters are re-imagined as elite operatives and every suit is fighting for the soul of Wonderland.

Master the Odds, Shape the War

In a genre dominated by "run-based" roguelikes, The Looking Glass Wars: House of Cards offers a distinct, quest-based progression system. Players take on a handcrafted ladder of 140+ escalating challenges without the frustration of losing progress upon defeat.

Game Features:

A Puzzle-First Strategy: Success is driven by pattern recognition and smart sequencing. Players must adapt to the draw of the cards to meet unique quest constraints.

The "House of Cards" Meta: Use Imagination Points to construct a literal House of Cards, allowing you to unlock new abilities and influence when your most powerful cards appear in your deck.

Persistent Progression: Every victory moves you forward through a complete 15-hour+ long campaign toward a definitive conclusion.

Suit Allegiance: Suits and loyalty matter. Aligning your growing skills and powers with the Heart, Club, Spade or Diamond families will unlock a deeper mastery of your House of Cards.
