Draft Showdown is a strategy game for Android, rated PEGI 12. Each match is a short duel in which you pick units before a fight, then step back while they battle. The developer, VOODOO, describes it as suited to a quick break as well as a longer evening of ranked play, and as accessible to newcomers while still rewarding experienced players.
The whole game turns on one decision: which units you put on the board before the fight starts. Once combat begins you cannot direct the units, so planning happens in the draft.
The build we hold is Draft Showdown 1.18.1 (APKS split bundle) for Android 8.0 and up.

Each round you are shown three draws and pick from them to build your squad. The listing names units such as an Archer volley, explosive TNT that lands in enemy lines, and a Goose Army. The developer says no two drafts play out the same way, so the squad you end up with depends on what the draws offer.
Because the picks come round by round, you adjust your plan as the match goes. A draft that suits the opening can be answered by what appears in the next one.
When the fight starts, the units clash automatically in real time. The first player to lose all their lives loses the match. The developer says the outcome is largely set by the draft, before any swords are drawn.
Since you cannot step in during combat, a match is decided by how well your squad fits the units on the other side.
If you are behind, the fourth draw gives you a fresh set of options. The developer presents this as the way matches stay close until the last blow.
Your final deck is a four-card load-out. The listing says you can chain synergies between cards, counter the popular strategies other players use, and set up off-beat combinations. Matches run for minutes rather than hours, and the listing mentions ladder play as a way to keep going over an evening.
