deadly pairs

the 7 deadly sins

each sin has a unique ability, strategic role, and counterplay. master them all to control the table.

the base game is free for everyone in vrchat. special dlc decks are unlocked during group events or for patreon supporters.

card structure

the core deck has 112 cards — 16 copies of each of the 7 sins. each sin card has a color identity and a unique ability triggered when played as a single (not as a pair).

pair scoring

to score a pair, you must have 2 cards of the same sin in your hand. playing them as a pair secures them permanently. first to 12 scored pairs wins.

gluttony

ability

steal 1 secured pair from another player. give them this gluttony card in return (goes into their hand). gluttony cannot be played by anyone for the next 2 turns.

greed

ability

play this card alongside a matching pair. that pair is worth double points (counts as 2 pairs). your next turn is skipped entirely.

wrath

ability

everyone puts their hands back into the deck. shuffle and deal everyone 4 new cards. you draw 2 fewer cards OR skip your next turn.

envy

ability

look at another player's hand. you may steal 1 card, but you must give them 2 of yours in return. if you choose to steal nothing, discard your whole hand and draw 2 cards.

pride

ability

take 1 card from your hand and 1 card from an opponent's hand to force a pair (they don't need to match). score this pair immediately. for your next 2 turns, your hand is played face-up to the table. (your hand cannot be stolen or traded from by envy or lust during this time.)

lust

ability

you and another player blindly trade 2 cards. if you form a pair with your new cards, steal a secured pair from them. if you fail, give one of your secured pairs to that player.

sloth

ability

pick any card (except sloth) from your hand. every player must immediately place all cards of that type from their hands onto the table. all these cards are sent to the bottom of the deck.
