GET YOKED: Extreme Bodybuilding is a roguelike deckbuilder where muscle growth is calculated, not improvised. Players use a deck of exercise, rest, and enhancement cards to sculpt their lifter into a competition-ready machine. Every match revolves around building just enough gains in specific muscle groups—arms, chest, glutes, legs—without collapsing from fatigue. The challenge is in knowing when to push for maximum growth and when to pause, repair, or support your body through other means.
Each deck consists of cards that perform focused functions: heavy lifts for big gains, cardio for balance, supplements for temporary boosts, and cooldowns for recovery. Playing strong cards back-to-back will build stats quickly but flood your deck with fatigue. Fatigue cards dilute your hand, reduce momentum, and raise the risk of injury. Injury ends a run, so every workout is a gamble between short-term strength and long-term survival. Building a balanced, adaptable deck is the only way to advance through the increasingly demanding stages.
At the start, players choose from different bodybuilder characters, each with their own strengths and starting card pools. Some specialize in explosive upper-body builds, while others favor endurance or recovery. Through gameplay, decks evolve—new cards are added, weak ones removed, and modifiers are unlocked. As stats rise, cosmetic rewards follow: new shoes, shorts, accessories, and style upgrades for the character. Each run becomes a unique build experiment with visible and mechanical growth over time.

GET YOKED doesn’t reward speed—it rewards consistency, restraint, and timing. Throwing every powerful card at a stat goal might get you results quickly, but without rest or balance, your deck becomes bloated and unstable. Real growth happens through cycles—lifting, recovering, improving, and adjusting. It’s a methodical loop where success depends on managing momentum and responding to what the deck gives you. Like a real training program, progress isn’t linear—but the gains are earned, one rep at a time.
