Every weapon has its target

Each of the nine units combines a class with a weapon. The sword hits infantry, the pike hits cavalry, the bow hits dragons.

Pick a card to see what it can attack.

The enemy base only falls when an infantry, a cavalry and a dragon unit hit it in the same turn.

How your turn works

  1. Draw

    Draw a card. If you can’t draw, you lose.

  2. Play

    You have three actions. Each card costs one: unit, tower, wall or spell.

  3. Attack

    Ready units and towers attack without spending an action, once per turn. Walls give their neighbours cover.

  4. Storm the base

    After 4 rounds of protection, a base can be attacked as soon as its owner has no card left in front.

Spells for the right moment

Besides units, towers and walls, every deck holds seven spells. They take effect immediately and often turn the whole game.
