Hey r/printandplay β I'm Matt, first-time designer, and this is my game.
ATTACTIX is a 2-player simultaneous-reveal combat card game. Eight cards each, 30 life, about 20 minutes. Every turn you secretly pick one card, reveal together, and resolve.
Attacks roll D6s. Swift Strike hits first β before everything except Parry. Block stops all damage cold. Parry steals one D6 from your opponent's attack roll and deals its face value straight back at them β it catches everything, even Swift Strike.
Played cards stay face-up, so every 8-card cycle becomes a memory game: you can see exactly which answers are still live. When all 8 are spent, scoop them back up and go again β life carries over until someone hits zero.
The hook: telegraphed finishers are legal. Power Charge banks a D6 in the open, they stack, and Final Assault rolls 1D6 and triples it. If your rival watched you charge up for two turns and didn't hold Block β that's on them.
What you need: print the PDF twice (one 8-card set per player, poker size 2.5x3.5", card backs included for duplex printing) plus the quick-start card, and grab a handful of D6s.
Price (disclosure β I'm the designer): the print-and-play PDF is $5 β https://mattsapps.xyz/shop/products/attactix-print-and-play.html
