This year we are going back … to BETA!
You read that right :battletabs_cheeky: we are working towards our mobile release and we thought why not let the community see all the cool features as we build them!

Have you ever wondered why we spent all that time and effort to convert BattleTabs from an isometric 2D game into a full 3D game at the end of last year?
Welcome to 2023!
It's a new year! With mobile versions of BattleTabs and our collectible cards in the works, we have an exciting year ahead of us! Not to mention the various community projects such as BattleTabs Chess and…

BattleTabs on Google Play for Chromebooks

New Obscure Ability and Community Mod to Add Color Filter
We are introducing a new mechanic - the ability to “obscure” a tile! This effectively un-reveals a tile that your opponent had previously revealed. And I know what you are thinking…
New Ship - Chaotic Machinist!
We have new ships! Chaotic Machinist is powerful yet … well… chaotic! Whenever it hits an enemy ship, it also damages itself randomly by one tile. It can be a VERY powerful ship, but beware of its wild behaviour! :)

As some of you might have noticed, BattleTabs has a shiny brand new look! 😎 We’ve made the interface more stylised and re-arranged the screens - continuing to polish up the look and feel for the game you know and love :)
