Grid Wars is a fast-paced card battle game set in the neon-lit streets of Neo Tokyo. Place cards on a 3x3 grid, flip your opponent's cards by winning stat matchups, and seize board control before time runs out. Every match lasts about one minute — deep strategy, no downtime. BATTLE WITH UNIQUE CARDS Choose from 1,829 unique cards, each with four combat stats that determine how they perform on the board. Strength drives your top attack. Intelligence sharpens your right edge. Tech Skill holds your bottom line. Cool keeps your left flank steady. Every card plays differently — build a deck that covers all angles. TWELVE LOCATIONS, TWELVE RULESETS Every match is played at a location that changes the rules. Shibuya rewards crowd control. The Glitch District scrambles your hand before the match even starts. Highland Core punishes weak stats. Citadel Grounds makes S-tier cards untouchable. No two matches play the same way. CONQUER CITADEL ASCENT Take on a 15-floor tower gauntlet, climbing from Street Level through Byte Street, the Market District, Shibuya Crossing, Glitch District, Aries Compound, Highland Core, Mid Town Enforcers, Citadel Park, Citadel Gate, Executive Floor, and Penthouse Guard — before facing the Hand of Citadel guardians and ultimately THE CITADEL itself at the top. SPECIAL ABILITIES Cards carry unique abilities that can swing any match — Phase Shift, Timewarp, Divine Shield, Ghost Walk, Revive, Dead Eye, Destroyer Protocol, Authority, and more. Learning when to play each ability is the difference between winning and losing. LEGENDARY AND HAND OF CITADEL CARDS Legendary cards hit the board with a gold aura. The rarest cards in the game — the Hands of Citadel — are playable only by those who own them, and they serve as the final bosses of Citadel Ascent. DRAFT PROTOCOL Build a fresh deck from a random card pool and take it into battle. Every draft run is different. Built for mobile. One match, one minute, zero filler.
