WAR, the most famous strategy board game from Grow, now is available in a cool brand new virtual version! There are two boards to play intense battles: Classic Game: Feel like a real general. Aim for your goal and carefully define your strategy. Attack at the right time, protect your borders and defend your territories. Dominate entire continents, invade and conquer opponent territories. But evaluate your movements carefully because, just like in great wars, poorly planned attacks can make great powers fall while the correct strategy can transform small armies into great empires! Roman Empire Game: With internal conflicts and increasing barbarian invasions, the time has come for the rise of the Caesars, the Roman Emperors. Be a true strategist in command of entire Roman Legions and conquer the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

You can also play alone against the computer. There is no need to register for this mode. Play FREE and unlimited! » ONLINE MODE: Have fun playing WAR Online with 3 to 6 people.
