Luck be a Landlord
Hey Backpackers! We're super happy to support one of my all-time favorite games: Luck Be a Landlord! If you haven't tried it yet, you really have to. It's a super fun slot-machine roguelike. You'll see that I'm not kidding when I say that I played this game for days on-end!
The game has just left early access! I really recommend a purchase. But if you haven't bought it yet, you can also enter for a chance to win a key directly from the developer!
Here's how you win:
1. Join the Backpack Hero Discord
2. Win a game (any run type) and finish with at least two dice in your backpack!
3. Post a screenshot on the "Show-off-your-builds" channel!
We will pick 5 winners from the entrants! Winners will be announced on January 13th 2023 at 1PM ET.
And may Luck Be A Landlord!!!
