⚠ KICKSTARTER LAUNCHING SOON
Every card is scavenged.
Every crew member rots if you don’t use them.
Rustwake is a deck-building game about the wasteland’s cruelest resource: time. Hold a card too long and it degrades in your hand. Scrap it, play it, or lose it — the wake waits for no one.

The Scrap Economy
Nothing is bought — it's stripped. Every card you play is built from parts torn off the last one, so your deck is a running ledger of what you were willing to sacrifice.
Decaying Hands
Hold a card and the clock starts. Gear rusts, wounds fester, morale slips — every turn you sit still, your hand gets a little more useless. Hesitation is the real enemy.
Crew, Not Cards
Every unit has a name, a rank, and a reason they're still alive. Lose them and they don't reshuffle back into the deck — the wake remembers who you spent.
