Charge & Spark – Quick duels of energy and strategy
Charge & Spark is a two-player board game where every move is a duel of the mind. Are you ready to launch attacks, defend yourself, move around the board, and read your opponent's intentions before it's too late?
Each turn is played simultaneously: both players choose a card, reveal it, and... let the spark begin. Move, attack, set traps, or activate barriers , but be careful: cards cancel each other out, counterattack, or recharge. Every move can be the decisive blow or a resounding own goal.
To win, you can reduce your opponent's health points to zero or reach the center of the board —but be careful: while you're preparing your final move, your enemy may already be approaching. A game lasts 10-20 minutes, but it will leave you craving immediate revenge.
Why Charge & Spark is the bomb ⚡
- Ultra-compact 2-player board game , perfect for quick but tactical challenges
- Simultaneous mechanics that reward bluffing and psychological reading of the opponent
- Two victory conditions : eliminate or reach the center, the strategic choice is yours
- Cards that recharge cyclically : you learn to know the other and anticipate him
- Also perfect for young players , ages 6 and up, but fun for all ages
Charge & Spark is one of those games that seems simple… until you realize that every turn is a chess game disguised as a clash of superpowers. If you love fast-paced but clever duels, this is the game for you. 🐸

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Lead your clan across wild, modular lands
Each game takes place on a changing board, with different territories to explore. Each player controls a prehistoric clan with unique abilities, ready to leave their mark on history.
2. Choose whether to use cards to move or to power up
Each turn you play a card from your hand: you can use it to move based on the type of terrain or to enhance your clan's abilities, making you more efficient in future actions.
3. Collect resources and create rock art to get points
Along the way you can collect food, pigments and symbols, which allow you to leave engravings or paintings on your personal board, unlocking points and permanent perks.
4. Use special bonuses and secret objectives to maximize your score
Each clan can play special cards that offer immediate bonuses. Additionally, hidden and personal objectives reward specific actions, bringing extra points if pursued intelligently.
5. The game ends when the finish line is reached or the deck runs out.
When a clan reaches the end of the path or runs out of decks, the game ends. The clan with the most points through art, exploration, and skill development wins.
In Charge & Spark, strong nerves prevail. And a quicker mind.
A strategic microgame where every card counts, every move surprises, and every mistake… stings.
Charge & Spark – A miniature mental duel… with high tension!
Two opponents. Two goals. No margin for error.
Charge & Spark is a 2-player board game that in less than 20 minutes will have you immersed in a futuristic arena of bluffing, hand management, and mirror moves.
Thinking of attacking? Your opponent parries. Want to move? Watch out for the trap.
Everything is decided simultaneously , in an elegant game of mind-reading and perfect timing.
To win, you can rely on brute force, reducing your opponent's health to zero... or run to the center of the board and sprint to victory.
Minimalist in design, yet surprisingly rich in possibilities, Charge & Spark is a little tactical gem for those who love fast-paced yet intense duels.
Charge & Spark: A micro-duel between reading, timing, and strategy
Charge & Spark , published by Jelly Jelly Games, is a strategic card game for 2 players in which each turn is played simultaneously with one card each, trying to predict and counter the opponent's moves.
Each card has a unique effect: attacks, barriers, traps, and special moves that can turn the tide of the turn if played at the right time.
But the strategic heart lies in the recharge system : when you play a card, it goes into your "recharge zone" and will only be available again after another turn. This creates constant tension: you know what the other player has already used, but what will they use next?
You win by reducing your opponent's health to zero, or by reaching the center of the board. Two different goals, a thousand ways to get there.
With straightforward rules, but meaningful choices at every turn, it's perfect for those looking for a fast, compact game with depth .
We played it. And we lost. But then we won again. But then... 🐸
Charge & Spark is one of those games that makes you say, “Okay, another one!”
It's fast, elegant, and full of brilliant micro-choices . We loved it for its ability to pack a thrilling duel into a handful of cards.
The pocket-sized format makes it perfect to take anywhere, but don't let the size fool you: you'll need a cool head and surgical attention to win .
We recommend it to those who love abstract two-player games, mind games like Orion Duel , or simply titles that surprise with little.
