Game Mechanics

The Mix

The Amp

Volume mana system. Turns up every round. Caps at 11.

Ego

30 Health points. Lose it all and the band breaks up.

The Supergroup

Sacrifice Bandmates to summon Legends from the side deck.

The Talent

The Frontman

Take center stage as the Frontman, your in-game avatar battling for custody of the spotlight. More than just a health bar (or "Ego"), each Frontman wields a unique Signature Move - a reusable ability that costs Volume to activate, such as Scott the Growler’s gravelly "The Yarl," which pumps up your bandmates with extra attack power. Choose your persona wisely and spam your signature talent to dominate the venue before you sell out.

Instant Hits

Blistering Riffs

Crank up the intensity with Riffs, one-time instant effects that deliver a sudden burst of power to the stage. Like a blistering guitar solo, these cards resolve immediately to damage targets - such as the explosive "Click Click Boom" or trigger special bonuses for your bandmates. Use them to disrupt the enemy's rhythm.

Persistent Power

Battle Gear

Outfit your crew for the main stage with Gear, the essential artifacts and equipment needed to survive a grueling gig. These persistent upgrades attach directly to your Bandmates, granting crucial stat boosts. Unlike one-time Riffs, Gear stays active and alters the Bandmate's performance until that card leaves the stage.

Field Spells

Venues

Set the stage with Venues, game-changing field cards that alter the rules of engagement for both players . These locations impose global effects - like boosting attacks or silencing Deathrattles - on every Bandmate in play . But be warned: the venue is a shared space, so playing a new location immediately discards the current one.

Emotional Baggage

Master the art of emotional warfare with Baggage, the game's hidden trap mechanic . Played face-down in your "Backstage" area, these cards lie in wait, automatically triggering to disrupt your opponent's flow just when they think they're safe. Use your repressed trauma to punish opponents who dare to attack your Frontman.

About the Developer

The Origin of the Tour

Divorced Dad Rock (DDR) started with a simple question: What if a trading card game had the deep, tactical mechanics of the "Big Three" but the aesthetic of a sticky-floor dive bar?

I was tired of standard high-fantasy TCGs that took themselves too seriously. I wanted to build a game where your health is just your "Ego", your mana is "Volume", and your ultimate trap card is the sudden realization that "She Took The Dog". It’s a love letter to the early 2000s, weaponized nostalgia, and the undeniable urge to form a band when your life falls apart.

Solo Gig in Wisconsin

There is no massive corporate studio backing this tour. Divorced Dad Rock is a purely solo, grassroots indie project being built from the ground up in Wisconsin.

Everything from the core game design and card art direction to hand-coding the game logic, UI, and VFX in Python and Pygame is a one-man show. It’s a lot like playing a gig in an unfinished basement - it takes grit, late nights, and a lot of trial and error, but the music that comes out of it is entirely authentic.

Real Gear, Real Mechanics

I didn't just write a game about rock 'n' roll; I actually know the hardware. When I'm not coding, I'm usually chasing the perfect tone - whether that's dialing in the heavy fuzz of an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, messing around with a Boss OC-3 octave pedal, or tracking audio in Reaper.

That real-world passion for music is baked directly into the DNA of the game, from managing your Amp's volume cap to equipping your Bandmates with physical Gear.

Talk to Management

Talk to Management

Whether your amp is blown, you want to argue about the setlist, or you just want to ask how the hell the Collab mechanic works, you’re in the right place. Just remember, "Management" is currently one guy in Wisconsin fueled by lukewarm coffee and distortion pedals. I read every message.

General Questions

Press Conference: Ask your questions but consult the F.A.Q. beforehand, don’t waste my time.

Feedback

Suggestion Box: I want to hear what you think. I'm always looking to tweak the mix.

Bug Reports

Blown Amps: Send as much detail as possible so I can patch the cables. Send the Debug Log.
