Key information
Curve Games has announced Lazare’s Sacrifice, a narrative deckbuilder developed in collaboration with Damien Monnier, the lead designer of Gwent. The title is scheduled for release in Spring 2027.
The gameplay centers on the historical figure Lazare Hoche, requiring players to sacrifice resources such as health, board slots, or cards to increase their power. This mechanic is essential for survival within the game's narrative framework.
Players navigate Carmes Prison, engaging in dialogue sequences and lock-picking activities to acquire new cards. The game features a vivid, comic-book-inspired art style for its cards alongside abstract, painterly backgrounds for exploration.
While the narrative premise involves using card games to avoid the guillotine, the title emphasizes strategic resource management. It is currently slated for a Spring 2027 launch.
