You frantically set up your defenses within a strict 60-second timer, then brace for a battle that unfolds from your preparation.

What players say

Players describe it as a free-to-play, deeper take on Stratego with chess-like complexity, where unit abilities and board-wide spells add depth. The AI is weak, and the online is dead, so matches rely on friends or the single-player mode. Players split on the design clarity, with some calling it frustrating to learn.
