The battlefield is a war-torn, crumpled sheet of notebook paper. Half the page belongs to you, half to your opponent. Build your forts, then brace for combat as you cross sharpened pencils, taking turns lobbing handdrawn bombs until their forts are mere scorched smudges. Victory belongs to the sketchiest player! It's all-out warfare. On digital paper, of course! • Play against a friend or a computer opponent on your device • Battle anyone with a network connection signed into Game Center • Three difficulty levels • Play with 1 to 10 forts • Choose from several themes.
