About the game
What you do in a play session
On the battlefield, divided into six lanes, monsters advance to destroy your castle. At the same time, smaller minions pillage your resources, forcing you to discard cards from your deck each turn. Defeat comes if your castle is destroyed or if your deck runs out of cards. For victory, you not only need to survive but also destroy the portal spawning the monsters and the epic monster leading the horde. It's a constant juggle between defending, counter-attacking, and dealing with minions depleting your deck and monsters attacking your castle. And get this, the primary way to draw new cards is by destroying monsters, so aggressiveness is rewarded! With three ready-made alliance decks and three horde decks, each with its own style and boss, plus the ability to mix and match them, replayability is super high. Plus, setup is incredibly fast, with three difficulty levels, making you want to play 'just one more time' in a flash!
