About Drawing Dead

After meeting an untimely end in a saloon poker game turned deadly, you awake in Purgatory. Imbued with new powers, and a set of poker cards made from your very soul, you must play your way through the three gates of Purgatory and into the afterlife. Before the game, choose your character, each with their own abilities and upgrades. Deal cards into the river and resolve enemy effects. Then draw 3 cards and use them to manipulate the river, unlock gates, and fill your bank. Activate abilities by forming poker hands. Use those abilities to defeat enemies. Gain rewards by defeating minions, and level up by defeating bosses. Escape Purgatory by unlocking three gates and defeating the boss behind each! -description from publisher
