Deal | Lowest price on Steam: Card-based survival strategy game drops below $5 for the first time

There are games that magically keep players coming back for “just one more round.” Kingdom’s Deck is clearly designed to deliver exactly that effect. The survival strategy title sets itself apart through its card-based mechanics and a deliberately minimalist setting: players take on the role of a king tasked with building, managing, and defending a kingdom. The pressure is constant, as enemy attacks remain a persistent threat. Success depends not only on careful resource management but also on the luck of the draw.

In Kingdom’s Deck, every action is driven by cards. Building cards generate resources such as food, wood, stone, or gold, while others allow players to construct walls, set up defenses, or recruit and upgrade their army. According to Steam reviews, this mix of base building, tower defense, and card-based randomness creates an addictively fun gameplay loop. With its short, fast-paced rounds, the game is also well suited for quick sessions in between.

Over time, however, the card mechanics are said to lack some depth. Reviews also describe the overall scope as quite limited, with some players reporting that they completed the game in around 10 hours. As a result, the survival strategy title currently holds a 77% positive rating based on 422 reviews. Given its current low price, it may still be worth a look for fans of the genre.

Under $5 on Steam for the first time

Kingdom’s Deck typically sells for $9.99 on Steam and regularly receives discounts of up to 40%, most recently during the Steam Winter Sale. Right now, however, the game is available at half price, costing just $4.99 – its lowest price yet according to SteamDB. The discount may also be of interest to handheld players, as Kingdom’s Deck is rated “Playable” on the Steam Deck (currently listed at $675 on Amazon).
