attack is forbidden. Nothing is left to dice: every exchange can be read from the unit panels before you move. A campaign that rebuilds your army Fight the computer stage by stage. Every battle you win pays gold, and the shop turns it into cards from a deck of 69 — sharper pikes, armoured horses, an archer who outranges the board. You carry three at a time, so every purchase is a question about what to give up. Over each stage lies one of 24 world rules, and it changes every time: thin armour, a moonless night, a peasants' revolt where the front rank threatens everything it touches. A defeat ends the run. The stage is the difficulty — the higher you climb, the further ahead your opponent thinks. Online, without an account Matchmaking pairs you with an opponent who has come just as far. Win and you climb a step; lose and you start over.With friends: open a room with a five-character code, optionally with a world rule and starting gold to spend on cards before the first round. No sign-up, no profile, nothing stored after the match. If your connection drops, the game brings you back and your opponent waits a minute for you.
