In Scotch, two players engage in a battle of wits in turn-based, tactical combat on a grid.

The game starts at a character select screen where each player chooses 5 warriors to join their team. After both teams have been completed, the players choose a battlefield and the battle begins.

Players take turns moving their units and attacking other units. To achieve victory, a player must destroy all of his or her opponent's units. A player loses if all of his or her units are destroyed.
