Choose your presentation.
Reduced presentation uses a command and surrender, leaving defeated figures intact as they clear the board. It omits blood, wounds, dismemberment, and executions. Dramatic presentation includes animated combat and graphic fantasy violence.
Two ways to share the board.
Play against the computer for a solo match, or choose two players to take turns on the same device. The current game does not include online multiplayer.
