Draft an army. Fight one battle.
A thousand gold buys 83 spearmen, 3 drakes, or something cleverer — and neither side sees the other's army until both are on the field.
You get a link. Send it to one person. No account, nothing to install.
No second person needed: the server plays the other side. It is a program, not a person — it buys its army the moment you press this, and it answers the instant you finish a move. Same rules, same board.
What a thousand gold buys
Costs are per creature, and every creature caps how many of it can stand in one stack — so the same purse is either a crowd of the cheap or a handful of the dear. What you buy stays secret until both armies are on the field.

How it works
- Draft. 1000 gold, up to five stacks. Cheap units come in crowds; the expensive ones come in threes.
- Deploy. Both armies appear at once, along opposite edges. The ground is mirrored, so terrain never decides it.
- Fight. Fastest stack acts first. Move, strike, shoot, brace, or wait for a better moment. Whoever you hit swings back — but only once a round.
Reloading does not end the match. Your seat is yours until you leave it.

Two smaller games also live here
Chain — the daily one-tap puzzle One 7×7 grid a day, the same grid for everybody, replaced at midnight UTC. You get a single tap: it sets off a chain reaction, and the page counts the days in a row you have taken it. Practice boards are unlimited.
Lanes — secret orders, three lanes Each round both sides split a budget across three lanes in secret, but may fund only two — so a lane is always conceded, and choosing which is the game. The orders turn over together, and taking two lanes wins the match.
Send this to your opponent
Waiting for someone to open it.
Opening this link yourself is safe. It gives you your own seat back, not your opponent’s.
Buy your army
Every creature has a muster — the most you may ever field of it — and a front, the number of them that can reach the enemy at once. Forty spearmen swing with twelve; the other twenty-eight are what keeps the twelve alive.
Tap one of your own stacks — or press and hold any stack — to see what it does. Rules
Brace ends this unit's turn and gives it +3 defence until the round ends. Wait moves this unit to the back of the round — it still acts, just after the rest.
Same link, same seats, new ground.
That was the machine — here is a room for two with your seat already held. Send the link to someone, then open it yourself when they are in.
