🎲 Wildcard Jam

Wildcard Jam is a digital game jam all about games that feel like they belong on a tabletop.

Card games, board games, dice mechanics, hidden information, turn-taking, bluffing — if it draws from the world of tabletop, it fits right in.

Each jam has a random theme to help spark ideas, but the format stays the same:
Make a digital game that feels like it could have been played in the physical world.

🃏 Theme: 

This jam’s theme is "Color Changes Everything". How you interpret it is up to you — maybe colors change the game state, reveal hidden information, or influence mechanics in unexpected ways. Whatever you create, keep that tabletop feel at the core and let the theme inspire some wild, colorful ideas.

🧩 What To Expect

You can make:

• Something structured like a traditional board game

• A chaotic party-style card game

• A dice-based roguelike

• Or something totally original with tabletop vibes

Your game doesn’t have to follow real-world rules — it just needs to feel like it could have been a physical game, if it weren’t digital.

🛠️ Rules & Tools

• Solo or team projects welcome

• Use any engine or tool

• Include simple instructions so others can play your game

• Be creative, have fun, and don’t overthink it

🎉 Why Join?

Wildcard Jam is a space to experiment with tabletop-inspired ideas in digital form.
It’s about clever mechanics, bold ideas, and games that feel like passing cards across a table — even if it’s all happening on a screen.
