Is this meant to be an independent game inspired by Shadowdark or a game the players would play in the game world?

Both. I wanted to make a card game based on Shadowdark but to the extent that it would be something I'd think crawlers might actually play between expeditions. Think of it like a card game companion to the Wizards & Thieves dice game in Shadowdark RPG. Both work well as actual games the players can play and gamble their coin on at the table, hence why I refer to the Stakes tables in the Shadowdark RPG book.
