How it works

Every piece is a secret

Your army plays face-up for you only. Ranks are revealed the moment two pieces fight, and stay revealed after.

Higher rank wins

From the Marshal (10) down to the Spy (1): the stronger piece takes the square, equal ranks destroy each other.

Specials bend the rules

Bombs destroy any attacker except the Miner, who defuses them. The Spy beats the Marshal, but only when it strikes first. Scouts run any distance in a straight line.

Capture the flag

Win by capturing the enemy flag or leaving your opponent without a legal move. Play the full 40-piece classic or a quick 20-piece army.

Every game comes with

Turn alertsMinimize the game to a floating pill that tells you when it is your turn, so the chat keeps going.
Rematch and spectatePlay again or switch to another game in the same room, while friends watch along live.
Bragging rightsWhen it ends, a result card with the final board drops right back into the chat.
