Lockout! is a two-player strategy card game you can learn in a minute and argue about for years. A standard deck, a board of thirteen spaces, three zones, and rules that shift depending on who holds them. CONTROL THE ZONES Play cards to claim spaces. Hold the Tempo zone and you play two cards a turn. Run the Point zone for bonus points. Take the Wild zone and every face card becomes wild. The fourth card on a space locks it for good: your opponent is locked out. BREAK THE LOCKOUT The Warden runs a prison for champions. Fifty bosses sit in ten cell blocks, five to a block, each with a face, a name and a playstyle to crack. Toon Town, Blockworld, The Grid, Kaiju Bay, The Dojo Circuit, Action Hero, The Studio, Rock Arena, The Conservatory, and the Vault where The Warden waits. Every block is fought on its own board. Three lives per block. Free the World Boss and the theme is yours. 25 HAND-DRAWN THEMES, ALL FREE Ten world themes from the Lockout, plus Sweet Shop, Viking Saga, Wild West, Synthwave Arcade, Samurai Dojo, Dragon's Hoard and more. Each theme changes the board, the suits and the sounds. Every one is earned by playing. None are for sale. DAILY MATCH One deal a day. One official try, a streak for showing up, and a link to challenge a friend to the same hand.
