About the game
Backstabbers is a 4-player online social strategy card game where players start as friends and end as enemies playing not only with cards, but with their friendships. Betray, take revenge, form temporary alliances, sabotage your rivals, and turn the chaos at the table to your advantage.
Original Steam description
Sit Down as Friends. Leave as Enemies.
Backstabbers is a 4-player online social strategy card game built around betrayal. Play your cards right, turn your friends against each other, and finish with the fewest penalty points to win!
Match Cards. Dump the Penalties on Someone Else.
Match playing cards to build piles, then dump those piles on your opponents as penalty points. Keep your own penalty pile as small as possible. Just remember, everyone else is trying to do the same!
Turn the Tables with Special Cards.
Steal your opponents' special cards, swap penalty piles, dump an entire pile on someone else, or redirect a pile at the last second.
Block moves with Reject, and get caught in wild chains of rejections and target changes. Just when you think you've won, your entire plan can fall apart!
Make Allies. Get Revenge. Betray Them.
Form temporary alliances, make deals, and turn your friends against each other. Hold a grudge, wait for the perfect moment to strike back, and betray even your closest ally if that's what it takes to win.
Because alliances are temporary, and there can only be one winner!
4 players. 15–20 minute matches. One winner. Plenty of betrayal.
