## Description
Kingdom Rush: Elemental Uprising is the ultimate tabletop tower defense experience, where you and your friends become asymmetrical heroes defending the kingdom against monster hordes. The fully cooperative game uses polyomino tiles (those Tetris-like blocks) to cover enemies—when a whole horde is covered, it’s eliminated. But it’s not just plopping down towers and hoping for the best: monsters have special abilities, and events like volcanoes and cyclones shake things up. You can play standalone scenarios or dive into an evolving campaign with epic boss fights and tower upgrades. Best part? Adjustable difficulty levels, from 'chill' to 'near-impossible' for strategic masochists. Get ready to yell 'BRING IT ON' when the next wave spawns!
