Grid Tactics: Duel

Grid Tactics: Duel is a competitive card game played by two players on the same 8×8 board. Both players’ cards occupy the shared battlefield, where positioning, adjacency and occupied spaces affect what happens when cards activate. Before ending your turn, you need to consider how the cards’ effects will resolve across the board.

Board and card effects

When you end your turn, every card on the board activates its effects in sequence. These effects can trigger chain reactions involving hundreds of interactions in a single turn, so victory depends on anticipating how the entire board will play out. Your deck determines which cards you can play.

Automated play

Grid Tactics: Duel includes Grid Script, a tactical scripting language written entirely in Chinese. You can use it to create custom rules for your deck, controlling mulligans, card placement, target selection and when to end your turn. When automated play is enabled, your script takes over the match and acts according to those rules.

Replays and match records

After each match, the game selects what it describes as the most decisive turn and replays it before the results screen. You can customize the replay’s opening animation with cosmetic skins. Every match is also recorded, with turn-by-turn replays of card placements and chain reactions, plus charts tracking changes in resources, health and damage during each turn.

Cards and competition

You can customize cards with skins illustrated by human artists, each featuring unique visual effects for combat. You can build a deck and compete against players from around the world on global PvP servers.
