The Gristmill is a tactical strategy card game with light roguelike and deckbuilding elements from the Several People development team. Venture outside your fort's walls and do battle with unknown monsters, learning about how they function and adapting strategies to defeat them. Players will need to protect their camp, as any monster that reaches it will hurt the player’s units, and if all the units die the player loses. As the party ventures deeper into the woods, they’ll face stronger challenges and eventually do combat against a massive creature.

God knows if anyone is still interested in it but no one ever dislikes feedback. Exceptionally fun game, lots of your people die early on but you quickly figure out how to work it (sacrifice the weak to thin your deck, only a suggestion). Some annoying menu switch issues and removed gear seems to respawn if you reload a save which is very annoying if you're playing a thin deck run but overall still a fun experience and well worth a play or two
That snail has a *lot* of health. It eventually died, but I don't know how to continue the game from there. Is that the end?
Hi xyncht,
Sorry just noticed your comment. Thanks for checking out our game! What did you think?
Currently, yes, the snail is the last boss. We are actively working on adding and improving content, so stay tuned :)
Best,
Jason Rose
