Cardside Place

Play alone against the computer while expanding your collection. Inspired by Triple Triad, the winner is the player who lays out the most of his cards in any number of rounds and matches.

The game is not a simple clone, but comes with new ideas and will be expanded by several more. Especially a multiplayer, so that the matches can be played with friends.

You are welcome to contribute your ideas. Everything I can implement will get a place in my feature wish list. Just look for the communitiy entries at the end of this site.

WARNING

This game contains mathematical content and therefore requires calculation skills of the player. A simpler paper-scissors-bricks alternative is fortunately already in planning.

FEATURES

Collect new cards

Ghosts, Elements, Healer, Mirror, Poison, Kohai & Senpai - all have their very own abilities, which complement the default cards and can turn the action on the board in any way.

Different abilities

Different types of cards provide tactical variety and different ways to defeat your opponent with the last card or just to get an advantage.

Direct and indirect attacks

Attack and defend with the highest possible card values. But beware, the indirect attacks such as Plus and Same can render even your most powerful stats useless.

Customiziation

Create your own game rules in the options and design the matches according to your needs.
