A roguelike deckbuilder about bodybuilding, which sounds like a joke premise wrapped around a serious structure and is exactly that. Exercises are cards, each one costs fatigue and produces gains in specific areas, and a run is a sequence of training sessions where you add cards, remove cards and try to arrive at a build that works together. The deckbuilding is real. Cards synergise — some reduce fatigue for others, some only pay off in combination, some are traps that look strong in isolation — and a run collapses in the familiar way when you take everything on offer instead of building towards something. It is in prototype form and clearly still growing, but the core loop is already sound, which is the hard part. As a browser deckbuilder it is more thoughtful than the genre's usual free offerings.

How to play Get Yoked
- Build towards a combination rather than taking every strong-looking card.
- Watch fatigue as the real currency; a powerful card you cannot afford is a dead card.
- Remove weak cards when offered the chance — thinning is as valuable as adding.
- Read what a reward does to your existing deck rather than in isolation.
- Accept a failed run as information about which combinations do not work.
Tips
- Fatigue reduction is usually worth more than raw output, because it lets the rest of the deck function.
- A deck of individually strong cards that do not interact loses to a focused weak one.
- Early removals shape a run more than late additions.
