A match in the casino arena, with an attack landing on the opponent's side of the board.
A brawl in the casino: one attack, straight across the table.

Choose your clan

Every deck follows a leader, and every leader a clan. Each clan fights its own way.

Brawl for the block

Deploy characters, play Hustles and set Ambushes face-down. Attack in ATK, hold the line in DEF, and bring your opponent's Morale from 6000 to 0.

A fighter that loses a brawl goes Down. Hit it again and it's KO'd.

How to play

Strivers rise mid-fight

From the game

Latest update

Version 0.9.142

  • Ranked seasons: this is Season 0, and it runs until the game launches. Press SEASON 0 · REWARDS on the Ranked tile to see what each rank pays.
  • Season rewards go by the highest rank you reach in the season, even if you drop back after (Karat and free packs; Legend also gets a Legend-only prize card). Play at least one Ranked match to earn one. When a season ends, your reward waits for you on the main menu.
  • Each new season drops every rank back two (a Legend starts at Underboss).
  • New keyword, COLLATERAL: when a character with it KOs (or Downs) an enemy in a brawl, its effect hits the characters on either side of that one.
