Double Dealers

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 1h ago

Miklagard Studios' Double Dealers is out in Early Access on Steam as of October 13. The game supports 3 to 6 players. Its core loop is auction and bluff: players use voice chat to negotiate and mislead, bid on items with hidden clauses, and then sell those items in a market phase for profit. The launch version adds a shop, an Era bonus for matching items, and scenes for boxing, arm-wrestling and blindfolded gun duels.

The reception picture formed before launch. A demo ran from May 27 to September 28 and holds a Very Positive rating on Steam. That rating was already in place when the demo was covered in June, so the game arrived in Early Access with a positive store page rather than a blank one. The coverage moved from the demo's rating to the Early Access launch itself, with no reported change to the player count, the bluffing mechanics or the market phase. What the stories establish is a small multiplayer game with a fixed 3 to 6 player range, a chat-driven bluffing layer, and a Steam store page that reads Very Positive from the demo period into launch.
