AWS Card Clash - Gen AI Battles

Today I joined the AWS Card Clash: Gen AI Battles | S1 E1 | Model Access Showdown on LinkedIn. This session demoed the AWS Card Clash learning game available on AWS SkillBuilder. The session was hosted by Curtis Morton, Jason Cuddy, and Brittany Wolfrom.

AWS Card Clash is a fun and engaging card game that pits two players against each other to complete architecture diagrams.

Some of the things that I liked about this as a learning activity are:

• The diagrams are actual architectures that you might use in AWS
• The actual symbols for the different services are used to help identify them
• There are multiple ways to access additional information about each service to better understand it
• The security feature used to protect your plays are actual AWS security services.

Some of the things that I liked about this as a game are:

• The are single and multiplayer versions of the game
• It uses cards, energy management, and other game elements in the game flow
• It can be played by players who are beginning their AWS learning journey
• There is a potential to use strategy rather than just AWS knowledge to win

Overall this was a great session and I have already run through a trial game on my own to better understand how it works. I expect to be playing more of this and hope to be able to play the multiplayer mode soon.
