PB& Games · A one-person studio · Founded 2026
Summon a cardboard army. Draft outlandish card packs, drop squads, spells and siege engines straight onto a living battlefield, then slam End Turn and watch the clash resolve. Solo, or online co-op for up to 4 warlords.
Coming to Steam Early Access, November 2026. Windows, macOS and Linux.
The game
Cardboard Conquest is a roguelite deckbuilder that resolves like a battle instead of a duel. Each card you drop becomes a squad of soldiers, a spell, a trap or a siege engine, exactly where you placed it. Wall a chokepoint. Screen your archers. Flank the line. Then commit, and the whole field moves at once.
Every run opens with a draft: armored legions, spider broods, walking bombs, con artists, love sorcery, splitting slimes. Three themed packs become your entire card pool, and even your commander is assembled from what you picked. No two runs build alike.
What is in the box
Counted straight out of the build, not off a press release. The fact sheet shows the rest.
From the devlog
Every card in the game gets a place to stand: each pack, each warlord's starters and each card type now has a backdrop cut from paper instead of a recoloured template, alongside twenty-nine new arena back walls, Motley Jack's relic chain, and an event that rolls a real twenty-sided die.
Wally's last stand. Kill him and the sky reverses: the moon comes back up red and never sets, a black wood grows in around the board, and the thing that stands up in it is not Wally.
Forty-two enemy lairs cut from paper, a diorama round where half the changes were sent back with a line each, a boss's own cast of curios, and a battlefield you can grab and drag.
The studio
Paul Booth. Founded in 2026, no office, no roadmap deck. The name is a sandwich joke. Paul Booth &, and whatever the studio makes next goes in the blank. The logo has a bite taken out of it every time the game boots.
Design, code, balance, audio pipeline, store pages and this website: one pair of hands, built in Godot, shipped in public with playtesters reading over its shoulder.
