If you choose to hold on to the cards, the game will begin. But if you choose to redraw, you'll be given another set of cards. Note that you can't redraw twice.

Tableturf Battle Inking Rules |
---|
|
Although there are plenty of spots on the board to be inked, note that you can only ink a spot next to one you already control.
Each player starts with a single special space on the board from which they can start inking spaces.
Your and your opponent's card will be played at the same time each turn. Sometimes, both of you will try to ink the same spot. When this happens, the card with the lower number wins the spot.
Each card has a Special Space - the orange square that's different from all the others. Do your best to surround these spaces with your ink, your opponent's, or even a wall to earn a Special Point!
Any player can ink an empty space next to a spot that's already theirs but you can only ink your opponent's turf by using a special attack.
Do this by clicking 'Special On', then pick a card you want to use to ink your opponent's spaces.
These cards can only be placed next to one of your Special Spaces so try to use cards that will cover a lot more space on the board to maximize the use of your Special Spaces.
In Tableturf Battles, you can ink boards of different shapes too! Aside from the classic rectangle that resembles Tetris, there's also a cross-shaped board that players can use.
It is still unknown how many kinds of boards there are but we will update this page once news on it comes out so stay tuned!
Unfortunately, multiplayer is still currently unavailable for Tableturf Battle, whether it be online or local. We'll make sure to keep you posted on when and if you will be able to compete against other players!
Tableturf Battle is a competitive card battle where two players go head-to-head to see who can ink the most 2D table turf.
Collect cards, build a deck based on your playstyle, and ink the most turf using cards and special cards to win!

you need to enter the lobby or the Shoal (you’ll need a Nintendo Online subscription or free try to access the Lobby) .Above the option for turf war should be an option for table turf battle with friends. Hope this helps :)
