## Description
Hey gamers! Ready to defend the last fortress against hordes of heroes? In "The Last Fortress", you're not the good guy, you're the villain! Take on the role of one of three leaders of monstrous races – an ancient Dragon, an Immortal commanding the undead, or a goblin/orc clan leader – and protect your home from extinction.

This game is a crazy mix of cooperative and competitive play, where all players work together to prevent the fortress from falling, but in the end, only one villain will emerge as the ultimate master. Each race has its own unique mechanics and a distinct tech tree, ensuring tons of different combinations and playstyles. You'll need to carefully plan your actions each season: build defenses, recruit bizarre troops, buy power cards, and of course, move your units to confront the relentless heroes.

The goal is clear: don't let the fortress be destroyed. If it falls, everyone loses. If you survive, the player with the most Power at the end is the winner. It's a game with a lot going on, hundreds of components, and a rich universe created by Fabiano Saccol. Perfect for those who enjoy a strategic challenge with a touch of intrigue and bluffing, and aren't afraid to play the villain. Get ready for an epic showdown where your race's survival is at stake!
