01 / Ace
Draw an Ace → +1 Coin
Ace gets an extra Coin whenever an Ace lands in his hand. That can help pay for an action later.
A single-player blackjack battler
Batata! Spud Royale
Play the hand. Outlast the potato.
Take turns against the dealer. Turn Coins into attacks, protection, or a little more breathing room. Stay standing longer than the other potato.
In development · Planned for Google Play and Amazon Fire tablets.
One more hand?
One more card. One more chance.
A bout lasts across several hands. Your health and resources carry over until someone runs out of HP.
Play your hand
Hit or Stand. Get close to 21 without busting. Your Lucky might give you a boost.
Face the result
Face the dealer. A loss hurts; a bust hurts more. Stay under 22 and earn Coins.
Spend or save
Attack, Defend, or Heal after your hand—or save your Coins for later.
Weather their turn
Your rival gets a turn too. Outlast them to win the bout.
New bout footage is on the way

The Lucky clips below are real gameplay. A fresh look at a complete bout is coming next.
See the potatoes get Lucky ↓Two Coins. Attack, Defend, or Heal?
You have 1 Coin. Finish a hand without busting and you earn at least 1 more. Now you can spend 2—or hold on to them.
No Coins spent? They stay with you for the next hand in this bout.
How the hand and resource rules work
Coins: reaching 21 earns 2; every other non-bust outcome earns 1, including a loss or a tie. A bust earns none. Lucky bonuses are extra.
Damage: an ordinary loss against the dealer deals 3 damage; a bust deals 4. Shield absorbs damage before HP. Other hand results do not deal this loss damage.
Actions: each costs 2 Coins. After your hand resolves, you may use one available action or skip it. Attack deals 3 damage, Defend adds up to 2 Shield, and Heal restores up to 3 HP.
Limits: HP cannot exceed its maximum; Shield cannot exceed 4. Heal is available when you’re below full health; Defend when Shield is below its limit.
A fresh bout: HP resets to full, Coins and Shield to zero. Between hands in the same bout, your remaining resources carry over.
A familiar hand. A potato twist.
Meet your Lucky
Your character has a Lucky rank. When that rank lands in their hand, their Lucky triggers automatically.
Opening cards count. Suits don’t. Your rival has a Lucky too—and chasing yours still risks a bust.
02 / Pampa
Draw a 6 → restore 1 HP
Pampa’s 6 restores 1 HP when he needs it. Here he’s already full, so the Lucky triggers but adds no health.
