Developer Dream Reality Interactive and publisher Curve Games have officially pulled back the curtain on Lazare’s Sacrifice, a gripping narrative deckbuilder set amid the blood-soaked chaos of the French Revolution. Revealed during the Triple-I Initiative showcase and crafted in collaboration with Damien Monnier, creator of the original Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, this high-stakes tale of survival and conspiracy arrives on PC via Steam in Spring 2027.
The Setting — Lose a Duel, Lose Your Head
You are General Lazare Hoche — once revered, now betrayed. Imprisoned within the stone walls of Carmes Prison, you await your turn at the guillotine. The streets of Paris run red; allies become traitors overnight, and no one is safe. But a twisted game offers a sliver of hope: defeat your fellow inmates in deadly psychological card duels, and you may yet live. Fail — and the blade falls.
The Core Mechanic — Everything Has a Price
What sets Lazare’s Sacrifice apart from every other deckbuilder is the very thing that gives it its name: you must sacrifice to win. To unleash your most devastating plays, you actively give up something precious:
- Sacrifice cards to power game-changing effects
- Surrender board slots to open up tactical possibilities
- Spend your own health to tip the scales in your favour
Push too far, and you won’t survive the cost. Hold back, and the guillotine claims you anyway. Every match becomes a high-wire act of risk, reward, and ruthless calculation.

With a proven design talent behind it, a haunting historical setting, and a central mechanic that turns every advantage into a moral and tactical gamble, this is shaping up to be far more than just another card game. It’s a thriller played out one hand at a time — and the stakes have never been higher.
The prison gates are open. The deck is in your hands. Will you play to survive… or will you play to win?
