Tag Team, inspired by classic arcade-fighting games, merges auto-battler and deck-building mechanics. Players form a tag team of two fighters chosen from twelve options, each featuring distinct techniques, special moves, and unique decks, fostering synergy through deck combination. Gameplay begins with a minimal two-card deck, where battles proceed automatically: cards are flipped one at a time to trigger effects. Post-round, players enhance their deck by appending new cards without rearranging priors, enabling calculated programming for potent combos and defensive blocks. Mastery of timing proves crucial to overpower opponents, secure victory, and deliver knockouts. The game earned the Best of Gen Con 2025 award. ---
