Tableturf Battle is a game mode in Splatoon 3 located in the Tableturf Battle Dojo.

In this 1-v-1 competitive card battle spinoff of Turf War, players can ink different shapes with different cards, charge up power, then unleash it all at once with a special comeback attack. There are over 150 cards to collect.

Players can build decks and battle their way to the top by challenging the 'Splatsville locals', including a baby jelly[1] (or someone named Baby Jelly) and Sheldon.

History

Tableturf Battle was announced on 10 August 2022 at the Splatoon 3 Direct. More information will be revealed soon.

Cards

See also: List of Tableturf Battle cards in Splatoon 3

Attributes

The face of every card shown so far has:

  • a violet, yellow, or multi-colored name at the top,
  • an illustration in the center,
  • an 8-by-8 square grid containing an ink pattern in the lower-right corner,
  • a number inside a violet, yellow, or multi-colored diamond in the lower-left corner, and
  • a Special Attack cost, indicated by one to five Special Space squares at the bottom.

The ink pattern depicted in the grid is added to the board when the card is played. Ink comes in two different varieties. One variety is rarer than the other, appearing in the grid no more than once per card. These less-common ink spaces are called Special Spaces.

The number in the lower-left corner corresponds to the number of ink spaces in the pattern.

There is a rarity to the cards such as Common and Rare.

Each card has a sequence number that is not shown on the card but can be used for sorting. For example, the .52 Gal card is No. 7.

Acquiring Cards

Players can earn packs of cards by increasing their Tableturf Battle rank[2], buy them via the Hotlantis catalog, or get them from the Shell-Out Machine[3]. A pack contains five random cards[2]. Players cannot own more than one copy of a card[2]; duplicates are converted to Card-Bits[2][4]. Players can spend Card-Bits to acquire new cards or upgrade the appearance of existing cards[2].

Decks

A deck contains 15 cards. Every player begins with a starter deck.

A player can save up to 16 decks, assigning a name and a card sleeve design to each one. Two different card sleeve designs have been shown: one bearing only the Tableturf Battle logo, and another featuring a large Ammo Knights logo and a smaller Tableturf Battle logo.

Rules

A game consists of 12 turns. Each turn, working simultaneously, both players choose a card from a hand of four cards and decide where to place that card's ink pattern on the board.

Ink Placement

The ink pattern must be orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to spaces that already contain the player's own ink. On a normal turn, it cannot overlap existing ink. If both players try to place their ink patterns in the same spot, one of two things happens:

  • If the two cards have different numbers, then only the card with the lower number adds its ink to the board.
  • If the two cards have the same number, then both cards add their ink to the board; but spaces where both colors of ink were added turn into neutral walls and cannot be inked again.

Special Spaces and Attacks

If one of a player's Special Spaces on the board becomes surrounded by ink of either color or walls, that player earns a Special Point. A player can spend Special Points to play a card as a Special Attack. When played as a special attack, a card's ink pattern must be placed orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to one of the player's own Special Spaces on the board. A Special Attack allows the player to place an ink pattern on top of existing ink.

Boards

There are at least two different board shapes:

  • a 9-by-26 rectangle (234 squares total), and
  • a plus shape made from the union of a 7-by-23 rectangle and a 19-by-7 rectangle (245 squares total).

Trivia

  • Some cards have similar postures to weapon illustrations and promotional materials.
