To start, players purchase and deploy an army with 40 points. Units have varied costs and abilities, so arrange your army on the battlefield as desired. The player’s army is positioned on the bottom half of the battlefield and they will always swipe up at the enemy army, which is deployed at the top of the battlefield. Play types include pass and play, play against your phone, and the main game: "Ranked Wars" is played over the cloud.
