## Description
Pixel Tactics pits two friends against each other in tactical card duels set in the vibrant world of Indines. Each player starts with an identical 25‑card deck and drafts a leader whose abilities dramatically reshape how the rest of the cards can be used, yielding up to 25 distinct playstyles. A turn consists of placing cards on the battlefield – front‑line units or back‑line support – and then attacking the opponent. Cards can also be played as "orders," one‑time effects that can swing the battle in an instant. The goal is straightforward: defeat the opponent's leader. Games are typically played as best‑of‑three or best‑of‑five rounds, providing plenty of replay value. While it shares the setting and characters of BattleCON: War of Indines, Pixel Tactics' mechanics are wholly independent, emphasizing hand management, open drafting, and multi‑use cards. With a light weight (2.6/5) and a 30‑45 minute playtime, it’s perfect for a quick, strategic, and visually charming session, thanks to the cute chibi artwork. A digital version is available on Tabletopia for remote play.
