📖 About This Game

WarTiles is a strategy game where up to 4 players face off, each commanding a unique faction from the world of Aëran. Every unit, terrain, and spell is represented by a tile placed on a 7x7 battlefield, where every move and action carries significant weight. The game is defined by its core mechanic: Shift. Instead of moving freely, units are affected by the battlefield itself shifting whenever a tile is destroyed. An entire row or column slides to fill the empty space, constantly reshaping the layout of the board. This unique dynamic forces players to anticipate changes and seize every tactical opportunity. The game ends when a player successfully eliminates an opposing hero, earning him victory.
