I picked up Vampire Crawlers and got a solid 24 hours on it in the last 2 weeks. The game starts off a bit slow with the introduction of mechanics, but when wild cards get involved, it descends into being able to break the game in hilarious ways.

For example, there’s many upgrades you spend gold on in between runs. I strategized to upgrade how much gold I would get in each run. Turned out that wasn’t necessary because you could combo your gold increase per run to over 1000% and gem your card to print money.

I kinda attribute the rules of the game to a “cool uncle” that lets you eat a pint of ice cream for dinner. Is it healthy? No. What is a fun thing to discover and do? Hell yes.
