Fights in Tight Spaces is a turn-based tactics game that blends card-based deck-building with cinematic, close-quarters combat. Players plan brutal takedowns against groups of enemies in confined environments, using cards to chain together attacks, throws, and environmental interactions.

Positioning is critical, since enemy attacks and counters are telegraphed in advance, rewarding players who think several moves ahead as they build and refine their deck across a roguelike campaign.
