Paws & Portals: The Deck of Destiny started with a simple question: what if the game didn’t pretend to be fair?
Most tabletop games carefully balance turns, probabilities, and outcomes so that control feels evenly shared. This game does the opposite. It hands authority to a deck of cards and asks players to react, adapt, and occasionally laugh when plans collapse. The goal was not randomness for its own sake, but visible momentum — moments where pressure builds, breaks, and resets in ways players can feel immediately at the table.
Removing dice was a deliberate choice. Cards are familiar, readable, and dramatic.
When a high card wins a fight, everyone sees it. When Overdrive spirals, it’s exciting because it might end at any moment. When it does end, it ends cleanly.
