The battle for the chicken dinner is moving from the screen to the tabletop. CardMonster has announced PUBG: Final Circle, a new card game based on KRAFTON’s popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) franchise.
Designed for 2–5 players, PUBG: Final Circle puts a tabletop spin on the battle royale formula, challenging players to survive multiple rounds of combat and become the last survivor standing.
Players take on unique characters, each with special abilities, while new battlegrounds are revealed throughout the game. Along the way, they’ll draw cards to collect weapons and equipment before facing off against other survivors.
Combat uses a trick-taking mechanic that adds an interesting layer of strategy. Players must follow the color of the first card played when possible, balancing their chances of winning a clash against how much damage they can deal. Counter-colour cards and surprise Ambush attacks add even more ways to turn the tables on opponents.
Winning a round isn’t the end of the fight, either. Survivors can use scavenged gear and character abilities to defend themselves, while adapting their tactics to changing battlegrounds. One by one, players are eliminated until only one remains.
PUBG: Final Circle was available to play at SPIEL Essen 2026 in Germany, held October 22–25. Now, the game’s Kickstarter pre-launch page is live, giving interested players a chance to sign up for launch notifications.
If you’re ready to take the battle royale experience to the tabletop, you can visit the Kickstarter page and select “Notify me on launch” to stay informed.
