Revised : mechanics wording updated to reflect current Luckys and Coin-funded actions. Original publication date retained.

Batata! Spud Royale brings potato rivals together for a focused card tournament. Pick an opponent, play blackjack hands, and manage your resources through the bout.

What Playing Feels Like

Hit to draw or Stand to keep your hand. Aim for 21 without going over. A Lucky can change your resources, but another draw still carries bust risk.

Your character has a Lucky rank. When that rank lands in their hand, their Lucky triggers automatically. Opening cards and subsequent draws can trigger Luckys; suits do not matter, and opponents have Luckys too.

Ace gains 1 Coin from an Ace. Pampa restores up to 1 HP from a 6. Ninja deals 1 damage from a 7, absorbed by Shield first.

How a Session Goes

  1. Choose your character and enter the tournament.
  2. Play your hand with Hit and Stand; Luckys trigger automatically.
  3. After your hand resolves, optional actions spend Coins from the current bout: Attack costs 2 Coins to deal 3 damage; Defend costs 2 Coins to gain up to 2 Shield; Heal costs 2 Coins to restore up to 3 HP.
  4. Keep battling to advance through the bracket.
