About the Game

PoliCromix is a strategic online card game where placement matters more than reflexes. Instead of traditional turn-based duels, battles unfold on dynamic boards where cards interact automatically through directional attacks, making positioning, timing, and board control the heart of every match.

Strategic Board-Based Combat

Each match is played on a board where players take turns placing cards. Cards attack automatically based on their directional arrows, triggering battles the moment they are positioned next to opponents. Smart placement can flip enemy cards, control key areas, and completely change the flow of a match.

Battles are fast to learn but rich in depth, rewarding foresight, adaptation, and experimentation rather than complex inputs.

Multiple Battle Formats

PoliCromix supports several ways to play:

  • Player vs Bot (1v1): Training and story battles designed for learning, experimentation, and structured challenges.

  • Player vs Player (1v1): Competitive online matches against real players.

  • Multiplayer Boards (up to 8 players): Special boards allow large-scale battles where multiple players fight for control at the same time, creating unpredictable and highly strategic encounters.

All multiplayer matches are played online with real players.

Storybooks & Fantasy Campaigns

Several universes in PoliCromix feature storybooks: fantasy campaigns that combine narrative and gameplay.

Storybooks are structured into chapters and scenes, presented through dialog, visual-novel storytelling, or comic-style flipbooks. Each scene may include story segments, battles against bots, or both. As players progress through a storybook, they unlock exclusive boards that become permanently available for replay and even for PvP battles.

Storybooks are not just narrative content; they expand the game by introducing new boards, unique encounters, and themed gameplay experiences.

Progression That Matters

Progression in PoliCromix happens on two levels:

  • Player progression, earned by competing in matches.

  • Card progression, earned by actively using cards in battles.

Cards grow stronger the more they are used, unlocking their full potential over time. Progression is always forward and has a meaningful impact on gameplay, making long-term investment in your favorite cards both rewarding and strategic.

Training and story battles offer reduced progression, keeping competitive play as the primary path for growth.

Farming & Long-Term Investment

In addition to active play, PoliCromix offers an optional Farm system. Cards placed in the farm continue developing while you’re away, allowing unused or underleveled cards to grow in the background. Farming is a paid, optional feature designed to complement gameplay -not replace it- and to keep larger collections relevant over time.

Universes, Boards & Variety

PoliCromix spans multiple fantasy universes, each with its own tone, characters, and boards. Some boards are unlocked through storybooks, while others appear as seasonal boards that introduce special rules and unique cards available only during that season through gameplay.

Not every card is obtained through packs. Some exist only within specific boards or scenarios, emphasizing gameplay variety over pure collection.

Earning Cards & In-Game Economy

Cards in PoliCromix can be earned by playing. Defeating bots, winning battles, and progressing through the game allows players to expand their collection naturally. Card packs are also available through the in-game shop and can be obtained using in-game currency earned through play or through optional purchases.

The shop offers flexible ways to grow your collection, while all newly acquired cards always match your current progression level. Skill, strategy, and smart decisions -not spending- remain the foundation of success.

Fair & Flexible Play

PoliCromix is free to play. Optional purchases provide convenience and access to additional content, but progression and competitive outcomes are driven by gameplay, positioning, and long-term mastery rather than shortcuts.
