Two masters face off across a five-by-five sanctum. Each turn you play a form card, slide one of your pieces, and pass that card to your rival. Capture the enemy Warden, or march your own Warden onto their sanctum to win. Simple to learn, deep to master. Tideforge Duel is a calm, original strategy board game for one or two players. No clutter, no timers, no luck once the cards are dealt. Just you, the board, and the next clever move. TWO WAYS TO WIN Capture the enemy Warden, or walk your Warden onto their glowing sanctum. Every move opens one door and closes another. PLAY YOUR WAY - Solo against an AI with multiple difficulty levels - Online with a friend using a simple six-character room code - Hand an empty seat to the AI any time SHIFTING FORMS The card you play becomes the card your opponent can take next. Reading that exchange is the heart of the duel. SURGE (OPTIONAL) Turn on Surge for one extra twist per duel: a single move using the shared neutral form. Leave it off for the pure classic game.
