📖 About This Game
Description from the publisher:
It’s dark. The streets are quiet, and all the grown-ups are at home. However deep in the city, inside a small arcade parlor, furious battle rages on. Amidst the dazzling flashes and booming beep-and-bop of the arcade machines, Champions battle each other for pride, honor, and extra lives. Joysticks are their swords and buttons their shields; their amazing game playing skill are the stuff of legend. One wrong move, and it is Game Over, man. Who will win the crown of Arcade King? Take the challenge and join the game!
Battle at the Arcade is a press-your-luck card game. A cross elements of a dice game and poker (but play without dice). Players are dealt cards from a deck, and must match them to the level’s requirement in order to earn points. However, players may also perform “Special Tricks”, swap cards and points, in order to “beat the level”. More than just luck, a deep strategic layer of choice and decision are needed to win the game. What are you waiting for, lets get the GAME ON!
