Tactics duel · iPhone · Beta soon
A two-player tactics duel. Nine by five tiles, a hand of cards, and a rival who can see your shot coming a turn ahead, because you can see theirs.
One email to confirm, then one when your wave opens. No spam, no sharing. How we handle your address.
The orange tile takes 5 damage next turn, whoever is standing on it. Move, brace, or make it their problem.
How it plays
Telegraphed shots
A ranger marks a tile now and hits it at the start of its next turn. Whoever stands there takes it, including your own pieces. Dodge, brace, step an ally in the way, or bait a shot onto its own side. Damage or shove the archer and the shot is cancelled.
Action points
Move, attack, deploy a card, heal, push, brace, guard. Each is one action point, but the same piece acting twice pays two, then three. The opening turns ramp up in order, which is the whole handicap for moving first. No bonus points anywhere.
Async, 48-hour clock
Take your turn, hand it over, and get a notification when it comes back. Each turn has 48 hours on the clock, and running out is a loss, so no game is left hanging. Undo freely until you tap End Turn.
Two ways to win
Regicide
Lose yours, even to your own telegraphed shot, and you lose on the spot. The Leader starts on the board and fights, but it should never lead the charge.
Control
End your turn holding more tiles of the middle row than your opponent and score a control point. Seven points wins. It is judged after the second player's turn, so there is always an answer.
Two rosters
Five pieces each, plus attack and shield cards that stack onto a piece and fall with it. The rosters mirror each other's roles and disagree about everything else.
Vanguard
Marauder
