Event completed — rules archive
The Village Circuit simplified the Bounty Board: four categories—a participation raffle, a consolidated high-score leaderboard on difficulty 5, a video highlight channel, and a community meme contest. The build included new decks and difficulty level 5.
Total prize pool for this window: Steam Credit + Exclusive Discord Roles + Credits Immortality (completed).
Objective: Not a high-score chaser? No problem. Simply submit a screenshot of any completed run (Victory or Defeat) to the #groundling-raffle Discord channel to enter the random draw.
Prize: Guaranteed "Village Performer" Role + entry into a $25 Steam Card raffle.
Objective: We've consolidated the leaderboards! Post your highest overall Approval Score on difficulty 5 to the #leaderboard-submit channel.
Prize: $25 Steam Card + "High Roller" Role + Name in Credits.
Objective: Upload a 10-to-30-second screen recording of your craziest synergy, biggest multiplier pop-off, or most devastating Outrage directly into the #highlight-reel Discord channel.
Prize: $25 Steam Card + "Director's Cut" Role.
Objective: Create and submit your best Fame or Folly memes to the #jesters-court channel. Joke about the Thief, Beatrice, or getting four miscreants in a row. The meme with the most 🎭 reactions wins.
Prize: $25 Steam Card + "Court Jester" Role.
From registration to submission—how the flow worked for Playtest #002 (completed).
Participants signed up and received Steam Beta keys via email ahead of the window.
During April 3–6, players launched "Village Circuit" mode. Runs were 45–60 minutes with saves disabled.
All bounty submissions happened exclusively in Discord. No external social posting was required.
Submissions closed Monday, April 6 @ 12:00 UTC when the window ended. Winners were announced in Discord after the window. The event is now complete.
(Note: In the event of any major issues in selecting a winner for a category, the Dev Team reserved the right to choose the winner in a fair and reasonable manner).

For Playtest #002, all bounty submissions—including clips and memes—were handled entirely inside our Discord server. No external posting was required. This page remains an archive of those rules.
Yes! For future events we still want your videos to look professional. Email us for a Creator Kit which includes transparent logos, stream overlays, and high-res character art for your thumbnails.
During the window, all categories used Discord channels for screenshots, clips, and memes. This page remains an archive of those rules.
For the Leaderboard and Raffle, a screenshot of the final Run Summary screen was sufficient. For The Highlight Reel, a short 10-to-30-second gameplay clip was required. See the Capture & Submit section below for reference.
There was no dedicated bounty category for bugs in Playtest #002, but reports in #bug-reports still helped the team. The playtest is over; Discord remains the best place for ongoing feedback.
