🧸 The toy box
18 toys. One big rock-paper-scissors.
Every unit has a job and a nemesis. Tanks crush recon, mechs bust tanks, copters hunt mechs, anti-air swats copters. Tap one to spin it around and see who it bullies and who bullies it back.

Kaboomski
The Thunder Uncle
Artillery and rockets pack a wallop; up-close units fight worse.
⚡ Big Bada Barrage★ KA-BOOMSKI!
Pebble
Otter of the Seven Puddles
Ships are tough, fast and deadly; land and air forces are weaker.
⚡ Riptide Roll★ Tidal Tea Party
Poppy
The Thousand-Boot Parade
Cheap, scrappy infantry; clunky vehicles.
⚡ Boots on Parade★ Thousand-Boot March
Shellby
The Slowest Wall in the West
Tanks hit hard and shrug off damage; everyone moves one tile less.
⚡ Shell Shock★ Unstoppable Plod
Vesper
The Lady of Loaded Dice
Wild luck: hits swing from feeble to fabulous. Slightly weaker on average.
⚡ Double or Nothing★ Jackpot!

🌦️ A living board
Sunny today, stormy tomorrow.
Maps come with their own weather and time of day, and the board is never still: waves lap the shore, flags flap, birds scatter and tired units nod off after they move. Drag the slider to compare.
- Birds and butterflies that scatter when armies roll past
- Fish jumping in the bays, waves foaming on every shore
- Units that yawn, fidget and doze off once they’ve moved
- Flags that flip colour when a city changes hands
- Smoking factories and blinking runway lights
- Unit cards: press any unit for its stats and matchups
