How it plays
In LingoRogue your goal is to build a deck of language flashcards, which when played in combinations grants your points. Every round you invite an opponent in the tavern to play against, with increasing difficulty. Visit the shop to upgrade your deck, and seek cards that will go well with the words in your current deck of flash cards.
Find the best hand to play every turn
Different Hands will yield different points. Your special cards will also trigger on specific hands or words / colors / letters. Maximize your potential score.
To get the points from your hand you must select the correct translation for all scoring cards. Don't know the right answer? Just flip the card!
Flipping the card reveals the correct answer and lets you proceed with the hand. But flipped cards will score lower.
Activating your special cards starts satisfying animations! Some cards score based on letters in your word-cards.
Every round you select a traveller to play against. They offer unique rewards or challenges for every round. Find one that suits your current strategy!
Purchase upgrades after every completed run. Build a deck that suits your current words and other upgrades.
Every game is unique with different words in your deck. Increase your vocabulary or replay the same words if you like! Track which words you've mastered.
