SLAP ‘EM UP! Launches Free-to-Play on Steam and Mobile Today
The fun and frantic casual party card game, Slap ’em UP!, is now officially available as a free-to-play title. The game, which takes inspiration from the classic “Slave” card game, has been released for players on Steam for PC and on both iOS and Android mobile app stores, ensuring accessibility for all players across the globe.
Developed by Urnique Studio and published by THE HAABIZ, Slap ’em UP! is a high-energy multiplayer game. It maintains the core objective of the traditional card game: be the first player to empty your hand of cards by playing cards with a higher value than the previous ones. The easy-to-learn rules mean anyone can jump into the action and start playing instantly.
💥 Cross-Platform Mayhem and Customizable Fun
A key feature of the game is its cross-platform multiplayer support. This allows friends and foes on different devices—whether they are playing on PC via Steam or on a mobile device—to match up and challenge each other seamlessly. The game supports up to four players per match. Players can choose between quick matches against random opponents or set up private rooms for a dedicated session with friends.
Slap ’em UP! adds a modern, chaotic twist to the classic format. It focuses heavily on player interaction and personalization. Players can “slap” down high-value cards, but they can also express themselves fully. They can blast opponents with hilarious mocking stickers and use funny emotes to taunt and roast their friends during key moments of the game. Furthermore, players can customize their characters, card backs, and in-game effects to create a unique and memorable style on the digital tabletop.
👑 Challenge for the Crown
The game’s overarching narrative places players on a futuristic online platform called the Intertube. Here, contestants battle it out in the Slap ’em UP! Showdown game show. The stakes remain true to the original card game: the winner becomes the King and the last player holding cards is crowned the Slave. The King gains the ability to command the Slave, adding a layer of humorous social interaction. This focus on fierce competition, combined with light-hearted taunts, makes it the perfect party game for players looking to test their luck and strategy.
THIS IS our take:
Slap ’em UP! has all the ingredients of a successful digital party game: an easy-to-grasp mechanic based on a well-known classic, fun graphics, and a great cross-platform setup. By offering it for free, the developers have ensured a wide player base can jump in and enjoy the instant chaos and friendly rivalry. It’s the perfect game to settle old scores or create new, petty ones, proving who the true card game champion is across the globe.
