DeckPals

A build-your-own-bag game for ages 6–8: your jar of tokens is see-through, so you always know what’s inside. Draw a handful, then make the jar better — buy a shiny token (you’ll draw it later!) or throw a dull pebble away forever. Watch the odds change as you build. On-device; nothing leaves your device.

Built for sittings of about 15 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.

Characters who teach

Meet the cast

DeckPals has a tiny friendly crew who make chance you can build: Corvi the magpie builds the jar — the more good tokens she adds, the more often she draws them; Twinkle is a bright token you buy from the market (adding it shifts the odds of every future draw); Dusty is a dull starter pebble you throw away forever (the jar’s odds get better); and Jarra is the see-through jar that always shows what’s inside (their illustrated storybooks are on the way).
