About the Troubadeck

THE TROUBADECK is a new songwriting tool from award-winning composer & game designer Charlie McCarron. Each of the 54 cards provides a unique template of chords you can freely use as a basis for new songs, jam sessions, classical compositions, film scores, video game tunes, EDM tracks…

The Kickstarter has done so well that the limited edition decks are already gone! If you want updates about getting a copy, please fill out this survey.
