what is Tavern Defense?

A roguelike tower defense where you build a card deck and create synergies to defeat waves of monsters.

Tavern Defense challenges you to build a deck of cards and strategically direct monsters along paths. Use synergies between cards to overcome waves and progress through the game.

It sits in the Strategy / Prototype corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
