Roguelike card battler The Last Kids on Earth: Hit the Deck! grows out of Steam Early Access on February 17th
Pick your party and fight your way through a cuckoo bananas post-apocalyptic world!


Calgary, Canada, January 31st, 2023 - SMART Technologies is proud to reveal that its wacky, strategic card battler The Last Kids on Earth: Hit the Deck! emerges from Steam Early Access on February 17th for $14.99. The post-apocalyptic world may have ravaged the population and society as we know it, but on the plus side there's no homework, no parents, and no rules!

Based on the Emmy-winning TV series The Last Kids on Earth from Atomic Cartoons and Max Brallier's best selling novels of the same name, The Last Kids on Earth: Hit the Deck! lets players inhabit the group of Jack Sullivan, and his friends June, Quint, and Dirk as they live in a tricked-out Tree Fortress of Awesomeness and fend off hordes of drooling zombies and giganto monsters from another dimension.

Following its recent major update, this 1.0 release adds additional playable characters, quests, cards, a crafting table, custom card creator, statistics, new enemies, gear, consumables, and more. The game was designed by a team of Wizards of the Coast R&D Alumni who developed the original MTG: Duels of the Planeswalkers.

Choose two characters to use in tag-team combat using battle-card strategies in this cuckoo bananas post-apocalyptic world. Each character has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Abandoned foster kid and monster-slaying tough guy survivor Jack is great at teamwork and fights harder when his health is down. June is an expert at kicking zombie butt as she is adept at seeing monster intentions and evading attacks. Super-rad scientist Quint can choose his gear on the fly and is exceptional at using buffs and debuffs, while former bully Dirk is a super-strong monster-battling tornado who can shield anyone in combat.

Gather more than 50 pieces of gear, like Fridge-a-pult and the Scream Machine; collect from a pool of nearly 400 unique cards and add to your arsenal with cards you create! Boost your monster-fighting awesomeness with consumables like Atomic Cola and Sulfuric Stink Bombs. With over 30 quests that follow the events of the first book as well as new opponents and challenges, there's never a dull moment in the town of Wakefield...after the Zombie Apocalypse!

Your options are further expanded with a crafting table where you can refill consumables, upgrade gear, and even create your own custom cards! With over 30 quests that follow the events of the first book as well as offer new survival experiences, there's never a dull moment in the town of Wakefield!


"We were honored to work on the The Last Kids on Earth franchise, as we think its great writing, whimsical humor, and mischievous cast is immediately infectious, but we wanted to ensure that those unfamiliar with the series could get into game," said Andy Cargile, Director of Game-Based Learning. "That's why The Last Kids on Earth: Hit the Deck! features deep deck-building mechanics and combat, ensuring that fans of the genre will be enthralled by the adventure. We can't wait for everyone to play the full release when it launches on February 17th."
