RPS Tactics

Every unit looks the same until it fights. Read your opponent, or lose to a rock you walked into.

Two players field fourteen units each on a seven-by-six board. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock — and every unit's identity is hidden from the opponent until it fights. Capture the flag, or take the opponent's last weapon.

EVERY PIECE LOOKS THE SAME You see where your opponent's units are. You never see what they are. A piece that has fought is a piece you know something about, and a piece that has not is a question — which makes moving one a decision about what you are willing to tell.

A MATCH IS SHORT Twenty seconds to place your flag and your trap. Ten seconds a turn. When two units meet and match, both players pick a new weapon blind, and the tie repeats until somebody wins it.

WHAT IS IN IT • Online matches against real opponents • A practice opponent when nobody is waiting • English, Türkçe and العربية, with a mirrored layout for Arabic • A ladder: hidden rating, weekly points, lifetime trophies

NOTHING YOU BUY CHANGES A MATCH Gold and diamonds buy cosmetics. There is no unit you can pay for, no board that favours you, no timer you can extend. The board is the same for both players every time.

RPS Tactics needs a connection to play — every match is resolved on our servers, so there is no offline mode.
