ALL CARDS AVAILABLE FROM THE START Simple rules. Victory comes down to reads and strategy. No collecting. No unlocking. Every card is available from the start. TriFront is a tactical card game where you play cards face-up or face-down and compete for control of three lanes. Play a card face-up to activate its ability and turn the tide of battle. Play it face-down to hide its value and identity—and keep your opponent guessing. Which lane do you fight for? Which one do you give up? How many cards do you commit? And when do you pass? Pass early to save your remaining cards for the next round. Strong cards alone won’t win. Even with the same hand, where you play your cards—and whether you reveal them—can decide the match. GAME MODES • CPU Battles — Sharpen your strategy at your own pace • Expedition — Choose a leader, strengthen your deck, battle through stages, and defeat bosses with unique rules • Daily Rush (Beta) — Carry a limited hand through a new three-stage challenge each day • Online Battles (Beta) — Test your reads against other players • Draft Battles — Take turns choosing cards and build your strategy on the fly • Two-Player Battles — Play head-to-head offline on a single device • Tutorial — Learn the basics and master the game No paid cards that give you a competitive advantage. Quick matches. Deep mind games. Read your opponent. Control the three fronts.
