Red Zone Royale

A football roguelike deck battler where every drive starts in the red zone.

You have four downs to score from the 20-yard line.

Call the right play. Stack your boosts. Save your hero cards for the perfect moment. Then decide: go for the touchdown, settle for three, or risk it all on fourth down.

Every snap is a tactical card duel.

Quick Pass can punish a Blitz.
Run Fit can shut down Power Run.
Play Action can burn an aggressive defense.
And one perfectly timed Hero Card can flip the whole possession.

This demo focuses on the heart of the game:
red-zone pressure, limited downs, defensive counters, risky calls, and highlight-reel plays.

It is not a full football sim yet. It is a fast, focused test of the core loop:
Is this football card duel fun enough to build a whole roguelike dynasty around?
