About Feint
Feint is a modern 1v1 strategy game built for the way people play in 2026 — on phones, between meetings, in short focused sessions, with friends in Discord. It's a game of bluffs, of guessing what your opponent is hiding, of committing to a plan and watching it unravel because they read you better than you read them.
What the game is
Two players. Sixteen hidden pieces each. An 8×8 board with impassable terrain in the middle. Your goal is simple: capture your opponent's Core before they capture yours.
The catch — every piece is hidden until it fights. Higher ranks beat lower ranks in combat, but a handful of special pieces flip the rules entirely. The Wraith is the lowest-ranked piece in the army, yet it's the only one that can defeat the Overseer. A Sapper is your only way through a Trap. Pick your roster, set your trap lines, advance with purpose — and try to win the information war before your opponent wins it against you.
Matches last 5 to 8 minutes. Every move matters. Every reveal is a clue. Every bluff that lands is a small victory.
What we believe
Everything in the Feint store is cosmetic or convenience. Piece skins, board skins, emotes, replay storage, advanced stats. Nothing in the shop changes the outcome of a match. Skill is the only path to the top of the ladder, and we mean that as a commitment, not a marketing line.
Clans, ranked seasons, shareable replays, tournaments — these aren't features we'll bolt on. They're why competitive games stay alive. We're building Feint for the long term, not for a launch spike.
We're in closed beta now. Every match feeds balance changes. Every player suggestion gets read. The game ships when it's ready, and not before.
What we're building toward
The closed beta is the first 10,000 commanders. They get a founder badge and an exclusive Vanguard codename skin that never returns to the store. After that, open beta. Then ranked seasons, clan wars, custom formations, mobile apps, eventually tournaments and an esports scene if the game earns one.
We're not in a hurry. The plan is years, not months.
Who we are
We're a small team that loves strategy games. Chess, Stratego, Hearthstone, Marvel Snap, Backgammon, Through the Ages. We've spent more nights than we can count thinking about why some competitive games last for decades and others die in six months. Feint is our attempt to build something we'd want to play in ten years.
We're not VC-funded. We're not chasing a billion-dollar valuation. We're chasing a game that respects your time, your wallet, and your intelligence.
