Cards[]
Cards are the central focus of gameplay in Griftlands. Players start with a pre-built deck of 10 cards and build a deck of randomly offered cards that are rewarded through Quests, purchased from Merchants, or received from random events. Available cards can be customized by enabling/disabling Card Sets in the options before starting a run.
Decks[]
Players are provided 2 decks when starting the game; 1 Battle and 1 Negotiation deck. Each deck has their own card pool and can be customized throughout a run. Decks have a card limit of 50.
Battle Cards[]
Battle cards are used to perform actions in combat. Divided into primarily Maneuvers and Attacks, a strong battle deck is required to survive in the Griftlands.

Negotiation Cards[]
Negotiation cards are used in negotiations and are rewarded and upgraded separately from your battle deck. Having a strong negotiation deck is useful for opening up quest opportunities and completing quests peacefully to conserve Health.

Status Cards[]
Status Cards have a yellow border and are added to the player's decks through different actions. Eating food, drinking alcohol, certain random events, and some enemy attacks will all add status cards to your deck. Most status cards are strictly a nuisance, taking up hand and deck space. However, some status cards have an immediate effect when drawn causing them to be particularly punishing if not removed quickly. Some status cards cannot be played and cause damage or other effects at the end of the player turn. Discard effects are particularly useful for dealing with these types of status cards.

Item Cards[]
Item Cards have a green border and can be purchased from merchants, received as a bonus quest reward, looted from dead enemies, and found through random events. Almost all items in the game have a limited use and are destroyed after playing them 1-3 times. In exchange for this, Items typically have fairly powerful effects and a large amount of Items have Replenish which mostly negates having the extra card in your deck.
