Overtrick, a trick-taking roguelike deckbuilder inspired by Bridge and set in 1920s high society, has been officially scheduled for release on Steam in August 2026, with multiple game modes and a launch discount confirmed
Overtrick, a new trick-taking deckbuilder with roguelike elements, has been officially announced for release on Steam, with a launch date set for 24 August 2026. Developed by Void Pachinko, the game draws inspiration from classic card games such as Bridge, Hearts, Spades and Euchre, but introduces a 1920s high-society setting and a focus on strategic deckbuilding. Players are tasked with outmanoeuvring rivals, acquiring special abilities, and meeting increasingly challenging trick requirements as they progress through each hand.
Game Modes and Structure
Overtrick will launch with three distinct modes. 'House of Diamonds' serves as the standard campaign, where players compete against various pairs to claim the Crown. 'Hearts Tourney' introduces a challenge mode, giving AI opponents access to abilities and more advanced strategies, requiring players to adapt and plan carefully. 'The Clubhouse' offers weekly challenge runs and a global leaderboard, providing ongoing competition and replay value for those seeking to test their skills against the wider community.
Gameplay Features and Progression
The core gameplay revolves around calling contracts, following suit, managing trumps, and winning enough tricks to fulfil each bid. As players advance, the number of required tricks increases, but so does the opportunity to purchase and utilise special abilities that can alter the flow of play. The design aims to blend the tactical depth of traditional trick-taking with the evolving strategies of modern deckbuilders, all within a stylised 1920s backdrop.
Release Timing, Pricing and Platform
Overtrick is scheduled for a full release on Steam on 24 August 2026, with a launch price of $7.99 USD and a 20% discount available at launch. The announcement confirms that the game will be available globally via Steam, with no mention of console or mobile versions at this stage. For those interested in other recent releases from the developer, Void Pachinko's previous title, which focused on physics-driven semi-idle gameplay, was also covered in detail in our recent feature on their earlier launch.
Trick-taking games such as Bridge and Hearts rely on players following suit, managing trumps, and making bids based on the strength of their hand. In a deckbuilder, players gradually expand and customise their deck with new cards or abilities, shaping their strategy over time. Overtrick combines these systems, requiring players to balance immediate tactical decisions with long-term planning as they progress through increasingly difficult hands. This hybrid approach aims to offer both the familiarity of classic card play and the evolving complexity of modern roguelike deckbuilders.
