Demo for Roguelite board-builder Beatrix Now Live on Steam
Indie developer and publisher Tambù Digital has unveiled the first playable demo for its upcoming roguelite board-builder Beatrix, now available on PC via Steam. Launching later this year, Beatrix is a hauntingly stylised strategy experience where positioning is power and your ability to craft a board-wide strategy determines the fate of a fractured underworld.
Inspired by the spatial logic play, Beatrix transforms traditional deckbuilding into a deep board-build experience played across a shifting battlefield. As the enigmatic Beatrix, players descend through the Circles of Hell to uncover a rotting anomaly threatening the Abyss itself. By deploying Canons, powerful field effects that rewrite the rules of the grid, and mastering positional combat, every move can reshape the board and turn the tide of battle.
Will you restore balance to the underworld or be consumed by the corruption spreading through its frozen heart?
Enter Limbo in the First Playable Demo
The newly released demo plunges players into the first Circle of Hell – Limbo, where they will learn the fundamentals of Beatrix’s strategic tarot combat while uncovering the first threads of the game’s dark narrative.
During the demo run, players will encounter the twisted denizens of Limbo and ultimately challenge Charon, the Custos Limbi, in a climactic boss battle.
The demo includes:
- 35 Canons – board-altering abilities applied at the start of battle
- 22 Major Arcana Tarot Cards – core cards played during combat
- 15 Relics with unique abilities
- 3 Enemy Types and 2 Elite Variants
- 1 Boss Encounter – Charon
- 3 Narrative Events shaping your descent
This first taste of Beatrix introduces players to its tactical board control mechanics, evolving deck systems, and the ominous world that lies deeper within the Circles of Hell.

About Beatrix
Hell has descended into unbridled chaos. As Beatrix, you are summoned to the Circles of Hell to uncover a mysterious anomaly rotting the afterlife itself. To restore order, or dismantle it entirely, you must master the laws of the grid, craft a lethal build of Canons, powerful effects that reshape the battlefield, and survive a perilous descent into the frozen heart of Treachery.
Key Features
- Board-Wide Strategy – Enhance your hand with the Canon System. Deploy persistent field effects that automate your strategy and redefine the rules of the grid.
- Positional Grid Combat – A high-stakes “Surround and Flip” system inspired by Triple Triad and Othello. Encircle enemies to trigger a Card Clash, testing your Potentia to seize control of their units.
- Verdict & Growth – You are the judge. Defeat the Custos of Hell and pass sentence to unlock new build possibilities and carve your path through the underworld.
- Diverse Starting Archetypes – Choose your Genius to anchor each run, then layer rare Relics, Canons, and Tarots to create devastating chain reactions.
- Infinite Replayability – With 22 evolving Arcana cards and over 100 Canons and Relics to discover, every descent presents a new puzzle of spatial strategy and board optimisation.
- A Visceral, Reactive Inferno – Explore the Circles of Hell in a dark, eerie aesthetic. Navigate story-driven encounters and environmental hazards that shape your journey toward multiple narrative endings.
