Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. The journey begins in Sweet Haven.
As a vengeful gambler, you find yourself in the graveyard haunted by Lord Overkill. Your deck of cards isn't just luck: it's pure magic, capable of channeling deadly blows against Hell's minions.
2. Prepare for the duel.
The core of the game is based on poker mechanics. Your hands aren't just combinations: each pair, three of a kind, or straight turns into special attacks and abilities that allow you to resist demons and deal targeted damage.
3. Go deeper and deeper.
Each victory pushes you further, from the tombs to the bowels of Hell. But beware: the further you advance, the more ruthless the creatures become, testing your calculations, bluffing, and composure.
4. Choose the mode.
You can face destiny alone in a solo challenge, or join forces in co-op mode to try and stop Lord Overkill's dark advance together.
5. The final hand.
Ultimately, your goal is clear: face the necromancer and play the final, decisive hand. Only the player who best utilizes their gambling talents will survive.

Ace of Spades
When the stake is your soul, the only weapon you have is a poker of aces.
Arizona, a cursed cemetery and a hand of cards worth more than life
Ace of Spades – The board game where poker challenges hell
Ace of Spades isn't just a card game: it's a journey of revenge. You're a gunslinger marked by bad luck, but with a unique talent: using poker as a magical weapon against demons. As you deal, each card combination becomes a spell capable of overthrowing Lord Overkill's henchmen.
There's no escape: to win, you must descend into hell itself and face the necromancer who destroyed your life. The tension builds with each duel, until the match becomes an epic showdown against fate.
A cooperative board game where the West meets the Dark
Ace of Spades is a themed board game published by Devir, designed for one or two players and based on poker mechanics and hand management . Set in a dark and supernatural Arizona, it transforms every game into a narrative duel where every hand played can change fate.
The strength of this game is the combination of poker and dark fantasy : build powerful hands to summon spells, eliminate the necromancer's demons and prepare for the final face-off with Lord Overkill.
Perfect for those looking for an intense solo or duo experience , Ace of Spades mixes narrative tension, classic mechanics, and a setting straight out of a pulp comic.
We played it… with a cowboy hat and a western soundtrack 🐸
The first game of Ace of Spades began with Morricone's music playing in the background and someone actually wearing a cowboy hat. The result? Total immersion. Every hand of cards was a thrill: when you get the right four of a kind, you feel omnipotent; when you get it wrong, you risk being overwhelmed by darkness .
We loved the fast pace, the noir comic book vibe, and the fact that it's challenging yet accessible . Playing alone is an intense experience, but with two players it becomes a cooperative duel that tightens the table. And when you finally take down Lord Overkill... you really feel like you've won something more than just a game.
