What is this?

A trump-style card game – but instead of cars, dev boards do the fighting: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32 and friends. Every value comes from official datasheets, so you learn without noticing.

Real hardware

All 32 cards feature existing dev boards with real specs.

QR on every card

One scan takes you to official pinouts and documentation.

In 4 languages

Hungarian, English, German and Italian text on every card.

Classic battle

Pick a category and call your value – the best takes the cards. Careful though: in price, power draw and size the lower value wins! Run out of cards and you're out; the last one standing wins.

set collecting

Quartet

Collect the 4-card sets (e.g. 0A–0D). Ask anyone for a specific card from a set you already hold – guess right and you get to ask again. Most sets wins.

Build, don't just play

Scan the QR code on the front of any card and you land right on the official pinout and technical docs. The deck doubles as a lab bench tool.

For teachers and club leaders

Board Wars is a gamified learning tool: students explore the world of microcontrollers while playing, with nothing at stake.

Concepts through play

Clock speed, memory, GPIO, power draw – they stick while picking categories.

Real data

Every number comes from official datasheets, no made-up stats.

Language bonus

The four-language descriptions build technical vocabulary too.

Fits a lesson

A round takes about 10 minutes – perfect for the end of class or a club warm-up.
