ATTACTIX

ATTACTIX is a 2-player simultaneous-reveal combat card game. Each player has the same 8-card deck and 30 life; every turn both players secretly choose a card and reveal together.

Attacks are resolved with D6s. Swift Strike hits first — before everything except Parry. Block stops all damage cold. Parry steals one die from the opponent's attack roll and deals its face value straight back, intercepting even Swift Strike. Power Charge banks a D6 in the open (charges stack visibly), and Final Assault rolls 1D6 and triples it: a telegraphed finisher your opponent can see coming.

Played cards stay face-up, so every 8-card cycle becomes a memory game — you can see exactly which answers are still live. When all 8 cards are spent, players scoop them back up and go again, with life totals carrying over until someone hits zero.
