PlayNewtNot Today Either is a free satirical card game released on itch.io on October 25, 2026. You play a mother determined that Javi, the father, never gets a single day with their daughter Vega, using a phone, a card table and endless excuses. The one limit is the judge: suspicion must never reach 100%. It has 5 acts, 2 endings and 100+ illustrated cards.

How to play Not Today Either

  • Every Monday Javi opens fronts: visit plans like Saturday at the zoo or Vega's birthday.
  • Block them with five kinds of excuse: Sick, Leisure, Travel, Logistics and Paperwork, aimed at each visit's weakness.
  • Play cards face down so Javi cannot tell what to break, set traps and throw bluffs.
  • Javi fights back with the paediatrician, the locksmith, the family mediator and a shared calendar, and announces tomorrow's move (sometimes he lies).
  • Answer the parents' group chat to raise your Neighbourhood Prestige.
  • At the end of each month, face a turn-based trial against the evidence Javi has piled up.

What's in it

  • 5 acts, from Domestic Skirmishes to The Great Abandonment Trial, and 2 endings.
  • 100+ illustrated cards and 15 combos, with booster packs, trial loot, upgrades and rarities.
  • A lawyer, Mr Buitrago, who sells cards under the table.
  • Three game speeds; a Normal run takes about 1 h 45 min. Autosaves at the start of each month.
  • English and Spanish.
