Read full description

Card Table War is an offline iPhone tactics game built around a 5x7 tabletop battlefield, mana planning, lane pressure, and turn-based card resolution. Each mission starts with your base and the enemy base at 10 HP. Spend mana from a five-card hand to deploy Infantry, Archer, Knight, and Barricade cards on your lower rows, or cast Fireball into enemy columns. Tap End Turn to resolve movement, attacks, enemy responses, and base HP damage. Win by reducing the enemy base HP to 0 while protecting your own base. Features: - 5x7 tabletop board with clear lanes and base positions - Mana-based hand choices for every turn - Infantry, Archer, Knight, Fireball, and Barricade card roles - End Turn resolution for movement, attacks, and base HP changes - 50 local missions with next-level progression - Recommended card hints and mana feedback during battle - Offline single-player play with local progress only - No login, ads, analytics, tracking, or in-app purchases Card Table War is built for short iPhone battles where every turn shows mana, card cost, lane movement, and base HP changes.
