You ruled the Stormy Island once. The Enemy holds it now, and its people have been turned against you. You have come back to take it all back.

Match tiles to gather resources, then spend them to raise your defense. Every match pulls wood, stone, steel and more from the board, and you turn it into units and towers placed along the road that leads to your king. Wave after wave of the corrupted marches down that road, and the only thing standing between them and your king is what you've managed to build.

The catch is time. The enemy comes every few moves, so each match is a choice: chase the resource you need right now, or save your moves and gamble on getting it before they arrive. There's always one more thing you want to place, and never quite enough to do it all.

Between battles, you build your deck from a growing roster of units, trying combinations and finding the mix that suits the road ahead. A level that broke you yesterday gives way once you bring the right hand to it. And the further you march toward the Tower of the Lore Smiths, the harder it gets to tell whether you're freeing this island or simply taking it.
