Clutchtime: Basketball is a deck builder centered around basketball plays and team synergies.

Different game modes:
• Elimination tournaments in true roguelike style, or
• Classic regular season where you can lose some games, but have to qualify and win the playoffs to become a Champion.

Each mode can be played in single player mode, or shared screen with your friends. You can set up custom modes like 2-player best-of-7 finals series, or a 3-player mini league where you play each other twice, once home and once away and then the top 2 players play the final game. It's fully customizable.

Each team has a starting deck of 5 starter players with 3 cards representing their skills.

Random events happen during the season, which allow you to:
• trade with other teams
• upgrade cards
• remove cards that don't fit your strategy
• duplicate your favorite cards
• and more...

Double Team your opponents and force Turnovers or create a dream team of Superstar shooters who Splash three pointers even while getting fouled.

You can also get team cards like:
• Timeout,
• Coach Challenge
• or even Complain to the Referees...
• ...to get a Tech.

Can you help your favorite team win the Championship?
