What is The Long Deck?
A blackjack battle game. Win a hand and you strike your opponent. Lose one and they strike you. Fight your way through four stories, each set in its own world.
Do I need to know how to play blackjack?
No. The Academy teaches you from the first hand, with lessons, quizzes and a practice table. Tap any underlined word in the game to see what it means.
What’s free?
The whole first story, The Night Line, is free to play from start to finish.
What does the Full Game include?
The Full Game is a one-time purchase that opens the other three stories: The Climb, The Salt Road and The Sounding. Tap any locked story to see the offer.
What are gold packs?
Gold packs add gold to the run you’re playing. Spend it in shops, or use it to buy back in when you pass out. Gold from a pack belongs to that run only. Gold is play money with no cash value.
What is “Buy back in”?
When you pass out with gold in your pocket, you can spend it to get back up with half your health and keep fighting. You can do this once per act.
I bought the Full Game. How do I get it on another device?
Sign in with the same Apple Account, open the game, go to Settings and tap “Restore purchases”. The Full Game works on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Can my family use my Full Game purchase?
Yes. The Full Game supports Family Sharing.
Does my progress carry over between devices?
Yes, if you’re signed in to iCloud on each device.
Can I play offline?
Yes. Buying the Full Game or gold packs needs an internet connection.
The animations are too much for me.
Open Settings in the game and lower the effects level. The game also follows your device’s Reduce Motion setting.
Can I make the text bigger?
Yes. The game follows your device’s text size setting.
