Players use coins to buy better cards and score on arcade games, aiming to control three games first. Strategic deck, bag, and pool building combined with quick decision-making define the gameplay.

Who Is This Game For?

This game is aimed at experienced players who enjoy strategic two-player duels. It is a medium-weight game lasting about 60 minutes, suitable for ages 10 and up. Beginners in deck building might find the depth challenging at first.
