About Chance
Chance is a strategy deckbuilder from Hairy Heart Games that reimagines property trading as a cutthroat card game. Released on March 31, 2026, it runs on PC Windows, Linux, and Mac. The game pits players against AI opponents in a battle to monopolize land through cunning deckbuilding, rule-breaking chance cards, and economic sabotage. It’s a single-player affair where you’ll exploit loopholes, bankrupt rivals, and outmaneuver systems designed to fail. The vibe is cheeky and irreverent, blending board game tropes with rogue-like unpredictability. If you enjoy twisting mechanics for chaos, this $34.99 title offers a sharp, niche experience.
Gameplay
Each session revolves around drafting cards to build a deck that manipulates property acquisition and opponent finances. You’ll spend turns buying land, playing chance cards to disrupt opponents, and optimizing your deck for efficiency. The core loop mixes resource management, balancing cash flow against card upgrades, with tactical bluffing. For example, a “Tax Evasion” card might let you skip payments, while “Land Grab” forces others into debt. Matches last 3-5 hours, with late-game rushes as players collapse under financial pressure. The interface feels cluttered but functional, and controls prioritize quick card swaps over finesse. Strategy hinges on adapting to shifting rules, making every play session distinct.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 88% on Metacritic. Average completion rate is 63%, and most finish it in 4.5 hours. Community moods are split: 45% Amused, 35% Frustrated, and 20% Confused. Reviews praise its “ruthlessly clever design” but note a steep learning curve. One user wrote, “Feels like Monopoly if it was run by anarchists,” while another called it “needlessly opaque.” The game’s 28 achievements track milestones like bankrupting three AI in a row or collecting 100+ properties. Despite mixed reactions, 72% of players who finish it recommend it for fans of asymmetric strategy.
PlayPile's Take
Chance is a polarizing pick for strategy fans who relish breaking systems. The $34.99 price tag feels fair for its depth, but the 20% confusion rate suggests it’s not for everyone. If you enjoy deckbuilders with economic themes and don’t mind a messy UI, it’s worth a shot. However, the 35% frustration metric hints at accessibility issues. Stick with it if you thrive on chaos-driven tactics, there’s satisfaction in outmaneuvering a game designed to confound you. Otherwise, its niche appeal might leave you checking your wallet more than the board.
