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.

Command Chain is a card battler on a 3x3 grid. Place your heroes, line up your strikers, and set off chain reactions where one shot triggers the next. Stack multipliers down a lane and a single turn can go from dozens of damage into the millions. FEATURES - Chain-reaction combat. One trigger cascades across the grid, and position decides everything. - 100+ hero cards across 18 classes. Draft a hand and build a deck that fits how you play. - Merge duplicates to level heroes from Tier 1 to Tier 5 during a run. - 11 worlds, each with its own enemies, hazards, and art, from the Hollowfrost Reach to the Sunken Mire to the Dragon's Temple. - Boss fights that break the rules. The Hydra regrows severed heads. The Twin Wardens revive each other. The Fateweaver loads the dice. The Saboteur Queen swaps your units mid-fight. Read the pattern, then counter it. - Roguelike runs. Draft, upgrade, carry veterans forward, push deeper. - Endless Mode and New Game+ unlock after you clear the campaign. - Portrait or landscape, with 1x, 3x, and 5x battle speed. - Free to play and fully offline. No wifi, no forced timers. HOW IT PLAYS Strikers fire in straight lines, so where you place a card matters. A Sorcerer next to a Mage boosts the whole lane. A Tactician bends a beam around a corner into new targets. A Necromancer poisons through armor. Rangers and Gunslingers pierce dodge and shield. Every board is a new setup, so you read what is in front of you and build the biggest chain you can. CLASSES Mage, Alchemist, Sorcerer, Warlord, Cleric, Shadowknight, Mirror Knight, Bard, Monk, Ranger, Gunslinger, Pyromancer, Stormcaller, Tactician, Necromancer, Tinkerer, Martyr, Quartermaster.
