Get ready for a miniature war! In Toy Battle, battlefields stretch across land, sea, clouds, and even space, with toys clashing in tactical combat. Your mission is simple yet challenging: lead your toy troops to victory, either by occupying the enemy headquarters or controlling more territories than your opponent. The game is a strategic duel for two players, where every decision counts. On your turn, you have two crucial options: either draw two new troops to reinforce your army, or place a troop on the board, activating its special effect. Troop placement is strategic: you can occupy an empty base, a base you already control, or even an enemy base, as long as your troop is stronger than theirs. The key is to maintain a continuous path from your bases to your headquarters for each new placement. Furthermore, if you manage to surround a region with your troops, the medals within it are yours, and they cannot be stolen! The game can end in several ways: by occupying the opponent's HQ, by collecting the required number of medals for the current board, or if a player can no longer draw or place troops, with the player who has the most medals winning. It's a fast-paced game full of twists, perfect for those who enjoy a good tactical challenge.
