Pegote
Pegote is inspired by Guerra (war), a simple card game many of us grew up playing with a Spanish deck.
It’s a game of chance and comparison. Flip a card, higher wins. Easy to learn, easy to play anywhere. We wanted to build on that familiar foundation, adding layers, decisions, and a bit of chaos :)
Sit down. Play a card. Place a sticker.
Watch the value change and CLASH against your opponent.
A card game where every round is twisted by stickers. Starts simple and turns into chaos, as cards lose their original meaning beneath the layers.
Win rounds, earn cards, and build your deck!
But something's off. The players never leave. And the more they play... the deeper they sink.
Originall made in 9 days for the LAGS Game Jam 2026 with the theme Jack of all trades, master of none. You can find the Jam Version on the downloads!

I'm still confused about each suit :((( Can someone help? I will make sure to playtest soon on steam too :
Hey hey! In spanish cards there are 4 SUITS - Swords the sky blue sword ones, Clubs the green, yellow and red ones, Coin, the yellow coins and Cups, te red and gold ones that look like a goblet.
They work the same way as clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades! Hope this helps! if you got any further questions feel free to ask!
This is amazing! Love the customizability of the cards and the creepy dialogue. Two suggestions I have:
Hey, thanks for playing and taking the time.
We will take your feedback into consideration for the release version:)
Really appreciate it!
I really love this game! Some accumulated questions and comments (mostly taken straight from notes i wrote while playing):
lost a 30 against ivan's double mirror, which mirrored the new star sticker. do the stickers apply left to right, up to down?? or do stickers with effects relying on the other stickers just get final priority?
lost a forge card to ivan's double peeper because i didn't realize the odd & even would apply OPPOSITELY after it happened. haha, my mistake.
for the first few playthroughs, actually didn't realize the cards with people on them counted amongst the 'coin / sword / cup / club' categories. Tthis was because a) initial glances didn't make the small objects clear AND b) i tended to place stickers right in the middle, blocking my view of the category of object the person was holding, leading me to assume the people were in their own 'people' category!
cherry can still have effect on the round after being newly transformed into bitten cherry? (opponent draws card with new cherry, adds a sticker, and on the value calculation, the 2x AND 5+ are both added?)
noted that repeat sticker is particularly strong with the dice sticker (happened to get to 870 from a buffed card) and possibly the coin sticker too.
Final note: was very sad when the demo ended after balthasar; excited to meet sixto in the future!
Hey! First of all, I love reading comments like this so thank you for writing this :)
Stickers do have a solve order but it doesn’t have to do with where they are at but the type of effect they have. We categorize them and run them in this order that should be the best for your card’s value. I added an example for each.
Previous (poltergeist) - Immediate (forge) - Additives (pebble) - Multiplicative (purity) - Mimic - Repeat
As for the Forge situation, yeah we try to be as clear as possible on our description of the stickers but there is always room to improve if one is not clear! So if you have any suggestions please do send us!
We’ve noticed some people don’t get the suits entirely yet. Maybe there should be a tutorial step to teach about the suits and that should clear where the people belong to! Part of what we want with Pegote is that you gotta be careful how you use your stickers and what you cover if you wanna still know what the card Rank and Suit is!
Cherry should only trigger once either in its full state with the x2 or the bitten state if you placed something else afterwards. It’s sort of a “closing sticker” for a card. If you happened to see both effects, that’s a bug! Let us know if that’s the case
Oh yeah there are some broken combos, definitely some stickers still need some balance, but I wouldn’t like to nerf any of those because they are so much fun
haha that’s awesome! We are working on what comes next, if you wanna know more or just chat about Pegote make sure to join our Discord
I've spent so many hours on this thing on the three days since I discovered it. I'm so invested, and I've never been competitive or particularly good at card games. The stickers make it so fun, and the incremental difficulty of each character feels balanced, not like it suddenly got complicated out of nowhere. Waiting excitedly for the full release, and I'll go see if I can beat Baltazar.
Thanks!! We truly appreciate the kind words! We are working hard on makign the full release as truly enjoyable experience
Some deeply contented gameplay, a hint of critique ;)
Man! Thanks! We'll make sure to watch it throughly with all the team!
Hi Marc, Porta, Ari and jvolonte, I'd love to help you bring pegote to Arabic gamers for free! If you're interested in an Arabic translation, please let me know your email or contact me at urbgamesplatform@gmail.com
Thats awesome, we can do it for the full release, thanks for the help!
Awesome! Let me know whenever you're ready, and I'll be happy to start working on it
cool game, i beat it
Lets goooooooooooooooo
This is crazy good!! I didn't even realize it was a demo till the end lol
Can't wait to see this game fully released!
Thanks! We can't wait to share!
The polish on this game is crazy, i loved it
Thank you!
thats good wow
thanks! Hope you enjoy the full release once its out!
Game s a great I love this so much!
Love this concept! Guerra but with stickers messing with the cards is such a fun twist. My brother and I compose music and do sound design for indie games, do you have the audio side covered already or would you be down to hear what we could bring to Pegote?
Contact me on discord: luiigi.so
Just tried and enjoyed a lot. Definitely going into my wishlist
Hey, the game looks amazing, love that! Can't wait for the full version!
Thanks!!!! really glad you enjoyed it.
Super engaging game! Spent my entire afternoon playing it :)
DM me if you're interested in localizing your game into Vietnamese. I'd absolutely love to help out for free :D
Looking forward to the final product!
Thanks for playing!
That could be really cool.
Maybe for the release we could do it.
Thanks for taking the time once more :)
That sounds great! I'll keep an eye out for updates. Feel free to hit me up whenever you're ready to set up the localization :D
Hi !
I made a video where I play your game!
I really enjoyed it and sometimes while I'm at my front desk job and no one's looking I try to sneak in a few rounds hehe!
I hope you like my video and I genuinely love this game!! Everyone should play it at least 8 times!!!
Hey thanks for the video! Hope you also enjoy the full release once its out!
nice!
<3
buenísimo el juego!! estaría bueno si te resaltara el sticker del cual estás viendo el efecto y de que aparezca el número y palo de la carta cuando la ves, porque capaz que se tapa con los stickers y confunde. muy copado :)
Gracias!! En la nueva versión que estamos trabajando mejoramos como se muestra que sticker se esta resolviendo para que quede mas claro!
Es buenardo, felicidades. Me gustaria que agreguen otros bares o algo asi, o sino que te regalen cosas cada torneo que ganas.Tiene mucho potencial saludos
Gracias! Estamos armando una version mas larga con mas oponentes y mas stickers! Ya esta para wishlistear en Steam :)
Really cool game! have wishlisted it, excited to see the final product
Spamming the sun sticker is literally an insta win...10/10 game. Very addicting, and I'm wish listing.
una porqueria, pense que era el truco y solamente es una copia manaos del truco
Holis todo bien? Es la guerra! el juego de cartas es un poco mas simple (carta mas grande gana) y también se juega con cartas españolas!
Uuuh, disculpá. No vaya a ser que alguien invente algo. Bajate algun truco del appstore en el celu, hacela corta y deja de ser un mala leche.
I just played and won two times in a row, sometimes it's difficult but super entrancing!
This is so good! I just played it straight and somehow won!!! The lore seems to go deep in the full version, will recommend and wishlist for sure!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed our game! We'll make sure the full version is an better experience!
Woah, that was a blast! Thanks for making it, just wishlisted it on steam
is the "no one else is at the bar... you won" ending the only one besides the losing screen
for this demo! yeah! thanks for playing, for the full version there will be more to explore
I really enjoyed this game! Got to the end of it! great game!
GREAT spin on the genre!! Had a lot of fun!
Thank you! glad you liked our take! We are making a full version for Steam you'd help us a lot with a wishlist :)
Wishlisted! Good luck with the game development!
esta bueno pero no se si algunos textos son gpt o los que estan en la desc de steam xd
Hola todo bien? A que te referis con gpt? osea inteligencia artificial? Los textos los escribimos a mano. Por que serián gpt?
sí, los de la descripción de steam... pero bueno tampoco para dislikear el comentario JAJA
Alright maybe I'm just too good at card games and math because I beat the thing on my first try fun game though really like the character designs
we are working on a more challenging version of the game! We've done some changes that sometimes make even us sweat. Hope you try the newer version on steam when it comes out!
good
can you make it easier to see the deets of the card
Cool game :)
Lo acabo de jugar, me parece brillante el concepto.
Se puede explotar mucho.
A modo de retroalimentación...
- A veces los stickers no permiten ver el número.
- Debería haber un modo de confirmar sí la carta elegida será la jugada.
Gracias, espero que mi juego de cartas sea la mitad de entretenido que el tuyo :D
Gracias por el feedback!!! y por tomarte el tiempo de jugarlo. Abrazos!
Esta buenisimo, pense que iba a ser de truco o la casita robada pero es otra cosa, su estilo artistico me encanta, la mecanica de robar cartas haciendo que tu mejor carta pueda hacerte perder es buenisima, nunca me espere un juego que haga eso sin que sea "un enemigo que hace todo lo que vos haces" y me encanta, tambien el arte de las cartas era muy bueno, felicitaciones por hacer un juego tan bueno
Muchas gracias che!
:D
Awesome! Straight forward and clear. Background looks great. Characters look awesome. Requires some good thinking. I like that you are free to lay stickers in an organized or disorganized way since readability of the card is tied closely to the game mechanic. idk it adds a layer of charm imo. Very good game! ★★★★★
great game!
Really good! Challenging but nice!
Thank you! Interesting that you find it challenging, we've been getting lot of feedback of it being too easy. Do you remember exactly what did you find challenging?
I quit before. NOW i know why its easy. Make. More. Opponents.
This did NOT go where I thought it would. That ending is wildddd, and left me sitting there in silence with the first guy and the cheery music for far too long. Very very good, can't wait to play more!
Hey! Thank you for this comment, glad you enjoyed the ending :)
great game! had a lot of fun playing it!!! can't wait to buy it on steam!
Thank you <3
