Win the battle.

In-game capture Ruined Court · Practice match
I

Build a combination.

Pair units, rally a row, or muster an entire group. A card is only the beginning.

II

Read your rival.

Spies give you cards. Decoys turn the tables. Every advantage has a cost.

III

Make the call.

Your General commands once per match. Save that moment for when it matters.

Man. Beast. Machine.

Six factions.
Find your allegiance.

Stand shoulder to shoulder. Hunt as a pack. Turn the machinery of war. Choose the faction that thinks like you.

01 / Man · Formation

Warriors

Hold the line.
Bring the whole army.

Turn discipline into strength. Pair your infantry, muster reserves, and rally an entire row behind your General.

Stacking unitsRally commandsReserves

Choose your moment. A crowded row can win a battle. Commit too much, and weather or the next round may undo you.

02 / Man · Research

Scientists

Knowledge is
your advantage.

Send spies for a deeper hand. Recover useful units with medics, then replay their abilities to keep your options open.

SpiesRecoveryRanged support

Protect the setup. Your support units need time, and a spy gives your opponent points before it gives you possibilities.

03 / Beast · Hunt

Predators

One scent.
The whole pack.

Outnumber the enemy Melee row, hunt exposed support, and call in a pack with muster. Your spies keep fresh prey in reach.

Pack musterMelee pressureSpies

Keep something in reserve. Muster commits the pack at once. Hunters, armor, and a well-timed storm can turn the hunt.

Ancients

Let the world
fight beside you.

Shape the field with environments, weather wards, and a powerful General storm. Recover your heavy units to rise again.

EnvironmentsWeather wardsHeavy recovery

Watch the skies. Clear weather can strip away your setup. With fewer direct draws, every saved card matters.

Automatons

Built to work.
Repaired to return.

March clockwork units into Melee, stack ranged batteries, and send repair medics to bring useful machinery back online.

Clockwork musterRanged batteriesRepair medics

Know the breaking point. Engineers counter armor, and a large muster can leave you exposed to weather.

06 / Machine · Adapt

Synthetics

Read the pattern.
Rewrite the outcome.

Build a deeper hand with spies, recycle arrivals with decoys, and link your units while suppression punishes crowded enemy rows.

Hand advantageLinked unitsSuppression

Adapt with care. Spies can cost you the current round. Spreading across the field takes time and leaves small support exposed.

A few useful things.

How do I start playing?

Open the browser game or install the Android app. Try the coached tutorial for three short introductions followed by a full match. Create an account to claim a free starter, collect cards, build decks, and play with friends. Save your recovery code somewhere safe.

How do I install the Android app?
