About the game
Hell of a Deal is a card game from Smirk & Dagger, designed by Cameron Reid (2026). It plays 1–4 players in 90–120 minutes, for ages 14+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.7 out of 10 and call it medium (2.4 / 5 weight).
A cooperative poker game against the minions of hell - and they all cheat.
In Hell of a Deal, you don't compete against the other players, but instead you each build your best hand to beat the house. Every round, you'll face a new Boss, each with a game-twisting special ability to face and (should their own cards be garbage) a minimum default hand to beat.
Winning hands will earn your team Souls (the coin of the realm) while losing hands will deprive you of them. There are lots of ways to cheat - and you'll need to - but cheat TOO much, and you'll earn Temptation that can bring about your downfall.
Pass the initial 4 Bosses and you'll earn a seat at the Big Table with The Devil Himself- and if you're lucky, you might just earn your way back to the living.
