Cascadou challenges you to create cascades of joy through strategic planning and rule-breaking stickers. Dive into a uniquely satisfying deckbuilding roguelike experience where every move counts.
About this game
Cascadou is a delightful chain‑reaction deck builder where poker hands topple into each other like dominoes. Each round raises the target score, so plan your sequence, trigger explosive cascades, and use smart upgrades to keep your run alive.
Find and explode poker hands
Playing Cascadou is easy! Clicking a card automatically plays the connected poker hands, but with limited moves per round you need to plan, create and execute the biggest scoring hands to survive for seven days.
Upgrade your deck
Your standard 52‑card deck can be upgraded with collectible stickers: from simple score boosts, to hand‑specific synergies, to wild mechanic‑benders that transform cards or even the rules themselves.
Set up and set off powerful chain reactions
Tackle optional challenges to earn badges that permanently power up your hands, and discover special cards with abilities of their own. Unlock new modes and secrets as you play.
FEATURES
110+ stickers to collect, combine, and experiment with
8 special cards for wild combos
10 badges that permanently upgrades your run
Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for the completionist
Multiple play modes for beginners and advanced players
Daily Challenges: Chill Mode (free swaps, chase the longest chains) and Solitaire (remove all 52 cards in 20 moves or less)
Morning, Afternoon, and Night stages with optional challenges and big rewards
20 rounds plus a tough final level that tests your deck and your skill
Secrets to uncover and new modes and stickers to unlock
Handcrafted art and music by solo developer machineboy from Norway
High replayability with endless deck, sticker, and badge combos
So, take off your shoes, kick back and soak in the delightful chain reactions of Cascadou!

Big update for Cascadou!
It is time for the second major update for Cascadou: Here comes v1.2!A new playmode has been added. Freeswap is the perfect mode for a more laid back playing experience, or if you are new at the game. Swapping cards is free, so you can set up the biggest combos without fear of running out of moves. You only get 4 cards to play though, so make those chain reactions count! There are also three new stickers added, making the total 120. Realtor is great for any House or Palace builds, Gloves upgrades your most played hand every new day and Forge turns your gold cards into crystals and crystal cards into onyx. Golden Path and a Forge sticker can be a very powerful retrigger build! I really recommend taking a look at the sticker catalog (Main Menu -> View Stickers). There are lots of fun stickers and synergies to discover, and there are multiple ways to create really powerful decks!What's new:Freeswap Run: Move cards as much as you want, but only 4 plays allowed!Realtor: Permanently add +100 to card when HOUSE or PALACE is playedGloves: Every new day, add +1 mult to your most played handForge: Turns Gold cards into Crystal and Crystal cards into Onyx when playedBitterSweet: Now gives 10 coins instead of 5Added rumble when playing with controllerBigger font option if playing on a small screenA new, easy to read card style option for smaller screensPrice adjustments for some stickersRemoves "No hand previews" snag on final battle when playing Easy RunVarious bug fixes and improvements Thanks for playing!
