Tarot Tactics

Place cards to attack, then spin the entire board a quarter-turn — every card flips its meaning at once.

How to play

The board is a grid holding enemies with hit points. Draw tarot cards into your hand and place them on empty cells. Each card has an upright effect and an inverted reversed effect. Rotating the whole board 90° clockwise flips every placed card between the two — so position and timing are everything. Resolve to apply all card effects and whittle the enemies down before your move budget runs out.

• Placing a card and rotating the board each cost one move.
• Cards strike in patterns: a row, a column, adjacent cells, diagonals, or their own square.
• Win by reducing every enemy to zero HP; lose if your moves run out first.

Controls

• Desktop: click a card, then click a cell to place it; use the Rotate and Resolve buttons.

Tips & strategy

• Place upright-damage cards, then rotate only when most of them would benefit from flipping.
• Line up row and column cards to overlap on clustered enemies before resolving.
