Tag Team

Tag Team is a 2-player auto battler combined with a deck-building game, inspired by classic arcade fighting games. Pick a team of two fighters, combine their unique decks, and build a synergy that can withstand whatever your opponent throws at you. Each fighter has their own techniques and special moves — the combinations are what make or break your strategy.

You start with a deck of just two cards. The fight unfolds automatically: flip cards one at a time and apply their effects. At the end of each round, you program your deck by strategically adding new cards — without reordering the ones already there. That's the twist: no shuffling, ever. Every card you add must be placed deliberately, because the order you build now is the order you fight with next round. Out-think your opponent, land the decisive combo, and knock them out.

What's good?

• Unique deck-programming mechanic — no shuffling means every addition is a meaningful decision
• Auto battler resolution creates genuine tension as cards flip one by one
• 12 fighters with distinct decks — huge variety of team combinations to explore
• Fast 15-minute play time — easy to rematch immediately

Who is it for?

• ✔ Fans of fighting games and arcade culture looking for a tabletop equivalent
• ✔ Deck-building fans who want something faster and more structured than traditional deckbuilders
• ✖ Not suited to groups of 3+ — strictly a two-player game
