Ironhold

Take the isle, building by building.

The isle is dotted with castles, barracks and watchtowers, and every building you hold trains its own soldiers. Drag from one building to another and half its garrison marches out, to reinforce your walls or take a rival building; drag onto open ground and those soldiers become a standing unit. Four minutes decides it.

How to play

Three moves and you are in.

01
Drag from a building you hold to send half its garrison: onto your walls to reinforce, or into a rival building to take it.
02
Drag onto open ground to plant a standing unit: archers shoot passing columns, monks heal the wounded around them.
03
Hold more of the isle than your rivals when the bell rings, or wipe them off it entirely.

What makes it Ironhold

The details that make the game.

Every building you hold trains its own soldiers, so ground taken is army earned
Half the garrison marches on each order, so a building never empties itself
Five deployable units: militia, warriors, archers, lancers and monks
A counter triangle: warriors beat lancers, lancers beat archers, archers beat warriors
