A slot-machine roguelike where rent pressure turns symbols into an economy puzzle.
Luck Be a Landlord belongs in the roguelike conversation because its symbol drafting, item modifiers, synergy chains, landlord deadlines, and escalating rent payments convert gambling imagery into planning. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.
Example
