Their turn is shown one move at a time — press Continue (or Space) to go on — we pause whenever you can respond. Passing is often right: the lesson is when to stop passing.

Details

Their turn. Petty Officer (5, [Assault]: 6 attacking) is about to attack A, held by your Vanguard Sergeant (4). Last turn you hid Pyke, Returned face down at A (3, [Backline]: "I must be assigned combat damage last"; "Once each turn, when an enemy unit dies while I'm at a battlefield, play a Gold gear token exhausted"). Keep A.

How to play
  • Move: drag ready units onto a battlefield (or click units, then click where they go). They wait there, faded, until you press Confirm in the panel on the right — units that fight together must move together.
  • Runes: playing a card pays from them on its own. To float Energy or Power first, click a rune: Tap gives Energy, Recycle gives Power.
  • Cards: drag a card from your hand onto its target, or click it and then click the glowing target. The play waits in the panel on the right until you confirm it (Esc cancels).
  • Abilities:click your Legend (one click uses its ability), Gear, or a unit's ✧ badge.
  • Point at any card to see it large; right-click to read it. Hint, Undo and Retry are at the top.
