## Short description (50 words)

Smash&Clash is a free two-player strategy board game. Play a card onto a 3x5 board; where it touches an opponent's card, the higher side flips it to you. When all 15 tiles are full, the board is the score. Learn it in a minute; skill decides who wins.

## Long description

Smash&Clash started as a prototype at a 24-hour hackathon in March 2025 and is now played on every screen people use and at the table.

On your turn you put one card on any empty tile of a 3x5 board. Every card has four side values. At each edge where your card touches an opponent's card, compare the touching sides: equal or higher, and their card flips to you. When all 15 tiles are full, whoever holds more cards wins. There are no draws.

Chess-like games reward skill but most turns change nothing you can see. UNO-like games give you something every turn but the cards decide. Smash&Clash does both: every card you play captures or defends, so each turn has a visible win, and over a game the better player still comes out ahead.

The deck has 46 champions, each voiced, and 5 effect cards. Mutators, the default ruleset, adds chess-piece tiles that let a card hop and attack again.

Smash&Clash is one game network: one room code works from the website, the apps, Snapchat, Telegram, a terminal or an AI agent. Developers build their own clients on the open Smash&Clash SDK, and agents such as Poke and Claude play people for real, with every result verified.
