Splatoon 3 has a new mini-game to enjoy and it is called Table Turf Battle. The rules of the game are simple enough and should feel familiar to everybody. Let’s jump right into how to play Table Turf in Splatoon 3.

How to Play Table Turf Battle in Splatoon 3

Table Turf Battle in Splatoon 3 is a game of two-player Tetris where both players place block formations onto a single grid to try and take the most territory. The blocks you get are given through cards and, once you have a good collection of cards, you can start building the best Table Turf Battle deck.

Each player simply takes turns playing their cards and taking more territory with their blocks. You can build over your opponent’s blocks, but so can they. To win, you will need to maximize the number of tiles you get by using your cards wisely.

There are over 150 cards to collect in Splatoon 3. Each card has a numerical value attached to it. The numerical value depends on how many blocks the card deploys. With all of that in mind, you’ll need to build the best deck in order to win Table Turf Battle.
