Guaxiang Lu: Trigram Chronicles

Guaxiang Lu: Trigram Chronicles is a deckbuilding roguelike built on the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. From Qi Condensation to Ascension, walk the cultivator's road toward the Dao and eternal life, one step at a time.

Cast the Copper Coins. The Dao lies in Yin and Yang.

Toss the coins to decide the turn's fortune — every step of the road brings fortune or ruin, unknowable until taken.

At the start of every turn, toss four Copper Coins: heads gather Yang Qi, tails breed Yin Qi. Every card in your hand costs Yin or Yang to play — you don't choose the Qi, but you choose how to wield it. Luck is a resource here, not an excuse.

Five Elements, One Flowing Chain

Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire... Play your Five Elements cards in their generating order to chain cascading bonuses into one seamless combo. At the same time, each element is a full playstyle of its own — will you be a raging inferno that burns the world down, or an unshakable mountain of earth? The build is yours to shape.

A Perilous Road, One Hexagram at a Time

From Qi Condensation to Mahayana, the Eight Realms of Cultivation grow more perilous with every step: demons and netherworld foes bar the way, and forking paths, Fated Opportunities, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, and Cave Abodes each exact their own price. Die, and the run resets — but gather all eight Trigram Discs, and you may glimpse the Gate of Heaven and open the true path of Ascension.

Guaxiang Lu: Trigram Chronicles currently includes:

100+ playable cards spanning the Five Elements

50+ demons and netherworld foes, each with its own moves

50+ Fated Opportunity events, each a gamble between fortune and ruin

140+ powerful, one-of-a-kind treasures

And much more waiting to be discovered!
