Steam Page Tips for Deckbuilders
Deckbuilder players read pages like a rules booklet: they want to see cards, understand the combat math at a glance, and sense the combo space. This is a genre where a single good screenshot of an in-progress turn can sell the game alone.
The capsule
Cards visible in the art — fanned hand, a key card front and center. Abstract logo capsules underperform badly here; the object of play is the brand.
The short description hook
Name what you build the deck around and the run structure. If there’s a genre mashup (deckbuilder + X), the mashup is the first sentence.
Screenshots that convert
One mid-turn shot where the reader can follow the play — readable card text, visible energy/mana, a combo resolving. Blur-tested UI is the conversion moment.
The mistake to avoid
Screenshots where card text is illegible. If players can’t read the cards, they assume the design has nothing to show.
