Slot Theory

Slot Theory is a minimalist tower defense where every decision happens before the wave starts. 

Draft one card from five. Build your strategy. Watch the wave unfold.

Runs take 15-30 minutes.

 

How it works

   • Draft 1 card from 5 every wave (2 cards at wave 1 & wave 15)

   • Place towers and stack modifiers

   • Survive all 20 waves

4 towers with distinct roles:

• Rapid Shooter - high fire rate, low damage
• Heavy Cannon - slow but hits like a truck
• Marker Tower - tags enemies to amplify your whole board
• Arc Emitter - chains between nearby enemies

10 modifiers that combo in surprising ways:

Chain Reaction, Split Shot, Exploit Weakness, Momentum, Overkill, Chill Shot, Focus Lens, Hair Trigger, Overreach, Feedback Loop

Armored enemies and fast walkers show up mid-game. 

Six slots fill fast. 

The draft gets tight.
