A new fighting game has entered the arena!

A new 1-vs-1 fighting game has entered the arena of combat games! Quebec-based publisher Le Scorpion Masqué (Dead Cells: The Rogue-Lite Board Game, Sky Team, Turing Machine, etc.) is proud to present Tag Team, an auto battler combined with a deckbuilding game for 2 players, designed by Gricha German and Corentin Lebrat (Faraway, Draftosaurus...). 
Get ready to relive the thrills of the best arcade fighting games of the 90s with Tag Team! 


Discover 12 extraordinary fighters to pair up together, each with their own techniques and special moves. Build your dream team and develop the ultimate synergy by combining their unique decks! 



How do you play? Start with a deck of just 2 cards. The battle takes place automatically; play your cards one after the other and apply their effects. Then, between each round of combat, program your deck by strategically adding new cards without changing the order of those already in it and line yourself up for a powerful attack. 
Master your team, create devastating combos and dominate your opponent by skilfully thwarting their attacks. Every decision counts on the road to victory! 



Manuel Sanchez, Head of Studio at Scorpion Masqué, says: "Tag Team promises that every fight is a new gaming experience. You can create up to 66 different teams and an infinite number of builds and winning strategies. I've rarely played the same game so much, and yet every game still surprises me! With the help of over 200 testers and after more than 1,600 games played to fine-tune the balance of the fighters, we're ready to welcome lots of players into the arena." 

With varied gameplay and ultra-fast-paced matches, Scorpion Masqué offers an accessible experience for everyone, not just fans of the genre. Defensive, tactical, unpredictable or all-out-attack: It’s up to you to find the team that suits your playing style! 

Gricha German, co-designer, shares: “The first prototype of Tag Team was a very simple game, where a wolf faced off against a village in an asymmetrical and minimalist confrontation. But over time, it took an unexpected turn; it became deeper through the concept of character teams, allowing for even more asymmetry, different tactics, and surprise comebacks!’ 

Corentin Lebrat, co-designer, adds: “I was immediately drawn to the idea of Tag Team. Then we were able to inject it with rhythm, tension, and a real build-up to make it an experience that is as explosive as it is addictive! I can't stop playing.”

Tag Team is one of the games that made a big impression at the 2025 Cannes International Games Festival. Training continues at several festivals in France, ahead of the official launch at the end of September 2025! 

Tag Team is a game by Gricha German and Corentin Lebrat, illustrated by Naïade, published by Scorpion Masqué. It will be available in stores this autumn for $24.99 USD and is exclusively for 2 players, aged 10 and up. 
Tag Team takes 15 minutes to play and offers enormous replay value. ROUND 1... FIGHT!
