Key Features

Hundreds of Unique Cards

Unlock and experiment with a huge variety of options—from ancient wonders to war elephants and tricky spies.

Fast Matches, Real Strategy

Rounds are designed to finish in about ten minutes, but the short length doesn’t mean simple decisions. Each game brings shifting plans and pressure-filled turns.

Choose the Mode That Fits You

• Single-player missions against smart AI
• Local “pass and play” with friends
• Online ranked matchmaking
• Tournaments for competitive play



• Alliances if you prefer teaming up

Unlock New Content by Playing

All 200+ cards and related content are unlocked through normal gameplay. There are no real-money in-app purchases or pack-buying systems to force grinding.

No Heavy Deckbuilding Overload

Instead of endless deck tweaking, you have limited control over your deck setup. That keeps each match feeling fresh while letting you focus on the important in-the-moment plays.

Player Feedback (Selected Comments)

• Surprisingly deep gameplay: Reviewers mention that the randomness is balanced by a thoughtful economy system—especially how discounts tied to resources matter more than just raw income boosts—along with a four-round structure that supports both fast aggression and longer-term strategies.
• Bug fixes were quick: One player reported encountering issues that were resolved within 48 hours after they submitted the report.
• About unlocking cards: Some negative reviews complain about unlocking, but positive reviews argue that you don’t receive duplicate cards and there’s no pay-to-win element since you can’t buy packs with real money. If you keep completing quests, you should unlock cards and Rivals quickly. Starting with only basic cards can also help new players avoid being overwhelmed.
• “It’s not a CCG” perspective: Multiple reviewers describe the game as closer to a virtual board game, with early unlocks to keep things approachable. They also highlight that the lack of in-app purchases helps everything unlock faster.
• Complex yet quick: Players note that the mechanics are fast to enter but deep enough that some interactions can be confusing at first, and certain rules may require checking the in-game rulebook.
• Matchmaking speed: One comment states matchmaking is very quick, around 15–20 seconds. The hard AI is also considered strong for those who prefer solo play.

FAQs

Is there an advantage to having two of the same resource?

No. The only practical benefit is redundancy—if you lose one, you still have another available.

How do end-of-game rewards work?

• You earn the highest rewards for winning versus anyone in matchmaking, or versus the Hard computer.
• You earn lower rewards for losing in matchmaking, or versus the Hard computer.
• You also earn lower rewards for winning against the Easy computer or a Friend.
• You earn no rewards for losing against the Easy computer or a Friend.

Forfeits and leaving:

• In most game types, if a player forfeits, the other player still receives win rewards—except in Friend games.
• If the match ends before the first turn is taken, rewards work differently.
• In multiplayer, you may forfeit during the last round and still receive rewards.
• Leaving during the last round counts as a loss, not an abandon.

What determines the stats of a ruined card?

• Ruined cards normally end up with 2 armor, unless the original card had only 1 armor—then the ruined version has 1 armor.
• Ruined cards that have any culture will keep 1 culture.
• Ruined cards never keep attack.
