Iron Court
Weightlifting & Powerlifting
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Iron Court is a strategy card game about the platform: three attempts, one barbell, and every opponent watching your number.
Declare your attempt weight in secret. The lightest declaration lifts first, exactly like a sanctioned meet. Play your Lift card, survive the support window while opponents throw Interference, then roll 2d6 against the Difficulty. Make it and it counts toward your total. Miss it and you have one less attempt to fix it.
TWO EDITIONS
Weightlifting: Snatch and Clean & Jerk. Six attempts across two phases. The Clean & Jerk resolves as two rolls: clean it, then jerk it.
Powerlifting: Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift. Nine attempts across three phases. Choose Raw or Equipped: equipped opens heavier Lift cards but every attempt costs extra Energy for gear.
PICK YOUR LIFTER
Fourteen lifters, each with an always-on passive that changes how you build a meet, form specialists who roll cleaner, gamblers who go heavy and live with it, crowd favorites who feed off Support. Your lifter is locked before the first attempt, so the choice sets your whole strategy.
THREE WAYS TO PLAY
Solo against the CPU
Pass and play on a single device
Online: create a room, share the four-character code, no account and no sign-up
THREE SCORING MODES
Standard: shared lift pool, weight class breaks ties. Best for a first meet.
Restricted Pool: each weight class only reaches a realistic lift range.
Bodyweight Difficulty: lighter lifters get a Difficulty bonus, heavier lifters a penalty. Rewards proportional strength.
MANAGE THE MEET, NOT JUST THE LIFT
Energy is finite. Support cards buy you a better roll, Momentum compounds a good day, and Interference lets you rattle a rival mid-attempt. Going heavy early builds a lead and burns the reserves you need in the third round. Real meets are won on attempt selection, and so is this one.
Built for the strength community, weightlifting, powerlifting, and all strength sports. No ads, no accounts, no in-app purchases. Everything but online play works with no connection at all.
