Battle Ace
Chess-like Strategy Game with Normal Playing Cards

Move, Attack, Stack or Pack!
Battle Ace, a FREE duel game, fuses the tactical depth of chess with carefully limited random elements, creating an unparalleled strategic experience all with a normal pack of playing cards.
With over 6.5 million random starting positions, set-up is a breeze, taking less than a minute. Gameplay is swift with alternate single-action turns: Move, Stack (combine cards), Attack, or Pack (draw a reserve). Battle Ace may be quick to grasp, but its profound strategic depth soon unfolds, requiring a balance of slow, powerful advances and swift, agile strikes, multi-front defences and the tactical agility to adjust your victory objectives on the fly.
Optional rules open new dimensions of strategy. Introduce a dash of unpredictability with random attack values, dominate specific areas for combat advantage, or let the Joker card wreak havoc as a wild card. Battle Ace can even escalate to a multiplayer battleground with up to 4 players, all achievable with a single or a pair of standard playing card decks.
Are you up for the challenge? Can you, the seasoned chess player, adapt your strategies to Battle Ace’s dynamic setups, varied combat strengths, and the unique twist of combining cards? Will you emerge victorious, or succumb to defeat?
