[PC] BloodJack - a 2-4 player PvP blackjack table game with hidden cards and rule-breaking items

I am working on BloodJack, a digital tabletop-style blackjack battler for 2-4 players.

Every player has one hidden card, and one-shot items can reveal cards, protect hands, change table information, or bend the rules of the round. Blood is both your health and your bet, so one bad read can turn into a big swing.

I am running a small closed Steam playtest and looking for feedback from people who like digital board/card/table games. I mainly want to know whether the table state is readable, whether hidden cards create good bluffing, and whether wins/losses are clear after a round.

If this looks interesting and you want to test it with friends, comment or DM me. BloodJack works best with 2-4 players, so I can send a few Steam Playtest keys for your group.

Looking for players to test BloodJack on Steam

I’m looking for unpaid playtesters for BloodJack, a 2-4 player PvP blackjack battler with hidden cards, rule-breaking items and blood bets.

It works best if you can bring 1-3 friends. I can send a small pack of Steam Playtest keys for one group. Just dm me.

I’m mainly looking for feedback on how easy it is to understand the game in the first few minutes, whether wins/losses are clear, and what feels confusing or unfair.

I created gameplay trailer for my first game BloodJack

this is PvP blackjack game for friends, where you can use rule-breaking items and try to outplay each other. Since every hand has one hidden card, bluffing and mind games are a big part of it

Hope this trailer can hook someone

I put up the Steam page for BloodJack. How would you prioritize its Steam tags?

I am working on BloodJack, a 2-4 player PvP blackjack table game where every player has one hidden card, blood is both your HP and your bet, and items can flip the round.

I am also looking for general first-impression feedback on the Steam page: whether the hook is clear, whether the capsule/trailer/screenshots communicate an actual game, and what would make you close the page.

I am trying to solve a Steam tag priority problem, not just pick the most technically correct labels.

If I put the literal mechanics first, it starts looking like a generic card/tabletop game. But the audience I am trying to reach is closer to Buckshot Roulette / Liar's Bar, etc: short, tense, social table games with bluffing, risk, and weird atmosphere.

With the current tags in the screenshot, Steam's similar-games area gets closer to those references, but I am not sure if the tags are still honest enough.

With that context, how would you order the tags? Which ones would you put in the top 5, which would you keep lower, and which feel misleading: Card Game, PvP, Tabletop, Multiplayer, Strategy, Party Game, Vampire?

Does one hidden card create enough bluffing in a blackjack variant?

I am testing a multiplayer blackjack variant where each player has one hidden card and the rest of the table only sees partial information.

The goal is to create bluffing without turning the whole hand into noise. Players can also spend limited-use items that reveal hidden cards, disrupt a turn, or change how safe a hand really is.

The GIF shows an item that reveals a hidden card to everyone.

Is one hidden card enough uncertainty to create interesting bluffing, or would you expect another hidden-information layer before it starts feeling strategic?

BloodJack is PvP blackjack with hidden cards and rule-breaking items

I wanted to turn blackjack into a tense PvP table game where every player has one hidden card, so every hand becomes a bluffing game.

Gameplay Trailer

It is inspired by blackjack, Buckshot Roulette’s table tension, and Liar’s Bar’s bluffing. Rule-breaking items can reveal cards, disrupt hands, deal damage, or completely flip the round.
