The Golden Caravan
Embark on a high-stakes adventure in The Golden Caravan, a Poker Roguelite game where strategy and luck intertwine.
When your grandfather, a revered locksmith, is kidnapped by the ruthless gangster known as The Big Owl, it's up to you to infiltrate the infamous Golden Caravan Casino and rescue him.
Will you manage to outwit The Big Owl, rescue your grandfather, and restore justice to a city suffocating under oppression?
- Battle enemies in dynamic Poker-based encounters where strategy and luck intertwine.
- Dozens of Weapons to aid you in battle. If luck is not on your side, a huge baseball bat might do the trick.
- Use Cheats & Trinkets to unleash powerful combos, outsmart your opponents, and turn the tide of battle in your favor.
- Through brief but impactful Dialogues, players will uncover the motives behind The Big Owl’s tyranny, and encounter allies and adversaries with their own stories and agendas.
- New challenges and combinations await in every Run, ensuring replayability and a fresh experience every time you dive in.
- The game’s Art Style is a mix of Art Deco flair and 1920s/30s vibes; think a full of vintage charm and cultural elements of the Roaring Twenties.
- Characters are all crime-themed birds dressed in period fashion, with each bird embodying a different role in the plot.
Can you escape the Golden Caravan's grip and bring down The Great Owl? Maybe, but in a place where fortune favors the bold, you'll need more than just luck on your side.

Hello! Have you tried on Chrome? I'm playing on Osx as well and it seems to work just fine :)
yep. tried in chrome, chromium, firefox, safari. nada.
I think the ability is bugged when the enemy is stunned.
Thanks for the feedback. Bugged how? Can you give me a bit more details?
I can't use it after stunning the enemy.
This is cool, and very reminiscing of Sword and Poker, which has been sorely missing. I played to Floor 2 for now, but will come back later. The art style and story are nice, and I hope we get a mobile version that plays in portrait mode as well if possible, as well as some powers that allow us to mess with the cards on the table somehow. Looking forward to this!
Hi! Thanks for playing!
We do have a mobile version planned, and we think it will work very good on portrait :D
Powers are DONE already, you can use only one for now in this version (changing any card for an As) but we have more, and are planning on on opening them in the next release.
Thanks. Looking forward to seeing how the game development goes!
great game so far but one nitpick: at trinkets, there should be a way to choose your trinket, so you can create posable synergies.
You are totally correct. We are working on this, but we want you to be able to "Play" in the casino as well, so it's going to be there soon!
The style and art is amazing, you don´t wanna miss a thing while playing. I'd say is really easy to figure it all out, and it takes you into a fun story. Keep it up! This work is amazing!
Thanks a lot! The Noir style was def something that everyone loves so far!
Thanks! more of the story is coming up (you got a bit more in this last update btw!)
I don't have much idea about poker but I still find it entertaining and easy to play. Also, the theme and characters seem very funny to me.
Very nice game! It's good to have something else about antropomorphic animals in the noir '20s while I wait for news about Lackadaisy.
Hahah indeed. We actually have a video of our artists talking about why they chose birds, and a noir style if you want to check it out!
My only issue with the game is that it isn't long enough.
I really enjoyed the gameplay and mechanics.
It has an interesting visual presentation and I can't wait for a full version. Or maybe a mobile one.
Both of those are in the making :D
This is so much fun! The combination of poker and the roguelike genre is very interesting. Kudos to whoever came up with this idea! *pulls the slot machine lever*
haha thanks! Glad you liked it!
Need Whislist now!
Coming to Steam to Wishlist Soon :)
Great Game. It's so good I would like you to go all the way though with it. With enhanced cards, different decks, and leveling up the player.
Thanks! We have a lot of those things in the roadmap :)
Love it!! I want moreeee
I LOVE IT
I love poker, so the game totally nailed it. The gameplay was fun, and I loved the art style and music. Very well set!
Thanks for the amazing feedback!
Don't know how to play poker, but it's so easy to do it in this game! Lovely characters and music <3
Glad you liked it <3
great job! you nailed the art style and feel.
I'm not a fan of poker but the gameplay is really good as well.
As much as the story is good, I'd start the description with how to play; it was a little hard for me to understand since I don't know poker. Also, sometimes it wouldn't let me place a card... not sure if it was a rule or if I had to move the mouse exactly to the center of the slot.
I'll be following the development!
Thanks for the kind words!
We will be adding the poker hands to the info panel, and the bug you mentioned is already fixed for the upcoming version :D
Cool game. Could you make a downloadable version for Windows, please?
Thanks for the kind words!
We are about to launch a new version early next week, with a lot of changes. Will definitely add a downloadable version :) So stay tuned for it!
Looks like the game got stuck here: https://imgur.com/a/a3HXC8c
Could not drop any of those cards, nor click "pass"
Thanks for sending it in!
Im looking into this case, there seems to be an issue there for sure :/
I think the art is very good and the gameplay is unique. I think the game would be improve if there is some special skill or event that affect each opponent's battle not just different item dealing different damage. Otherwise, the game is quite unique on its own.
First of all, thanks for taking the time to comment and the kind words <3
Yes, we totally agree. Next version we want to work on those differentiators, where active skills and other factors play a bigger role on the outcome of the game.
