Witch's Broom is a magical card game where victory is defined by reading the board, precise calculation, and calm nerves. There is no passive waiting here; you win by spotting captures, setting traps, denying your rival's moves, and choosing the perfect moment for a capture. Face off against animated, character-driven opponents in a campaign of escalating tactical duels. Each rival brings a distinct personality, a unique rhythm to the table, and a specific target score you must overcome. Win to unlock the next opponent. In this game, magic is a controlled modifier rather than a replacement for skill. It creates tactical spikes, heightens the drama of boss fights, and rewards players who know exactly when to use their advantage. WHAT SETS IT APART - Skill-Based Tactics: Fast-paced card duels where strategy comes first. - Immersive Atmosphere: Beautifully animated cards and character-driven opponents. - Campaign Progression: Face off against increasingly difficult bosses as you progress. - Cheating Boss Challenges: Defeated bosses return with unfair tricks. - Play with a Friend: Challenge a friend in an online duel. Read the table. Read your rival. Master your skill. Then clear the board with the perfect Broom!

Step into the arena. Duellum is a fast-paced deck-building card game set in ancient Rome, where every decision shapes your path to victory. BUILD YOUR LEGION Start each battle with a basic hand of soldiers and coins. Spend gold to recruit powerful new cards from the market -- fierce warriors, cunning tacticians, and devastating war machines. Every card you add transforms your deck into a unique fighting force. Will you build a lean, efficient strike team or a sprawling army that overwhelms your rival? FIGHT FOR GLORY Deploy your cards to deal damage, generate gold, draw reinforcements, and unleash devastating combos. Banish weak cards to sharpen your deck. Time your attacks carefully -- a well-built engine can end a battle in just a few turns, but one wrong move and the tide turns against you. PLAY YOUR WAY Challenge the AI across three difficulty levels -- Easy, Medium, and Hard -- each with its own tactical personality. Or take the fight online and battle a friend head-to-head via Game Center with turn-based multiplayer. Take your turn whenever it suits you -- during a coffee break, on the bus, or late at night. Your rival will be notified when it's their move. EARN YOUR RANK Rise through the Roman military ranks as you rack up victories. Start as a humble soldier, earn the title of Decanus at 10 wins, command as a Centurion at 50, lead as a Legatus at 100, rule as Imperator at 500, and achieve the ultimate honour -- Caesar -- at 1,000 victories. How far can you climb? COMPETE ON THE LEADERBOARDS Track your Total Wins against players worldwide. Race up the Weekly Wins leaderboard in fierce seven-day competitions. Or prove your tactical mastery on the Fastest Victory board -- can you end a battle in record time? UNLOCK ACHIEVEMENTS Over 20 achievements reward skilful play and daring strategies. Pull off a Flawless Victory by winning without a scratch. Trigger a devastating Overkill with 10+ damage in a single strike. Master the Comeback Kid by clawing back from the brink of defeat. Deploy the mighty Elephantus. Execute a lethal Sicarius Kill with a perfectly timed piercing attack. And many more surprises waiting to be discovered... FEATURES - Strategic deck-building with meaningful choices every turn - Three AI difficulty levels for solo play - Turn-based online multiplayer via Game Center - Three leaderboards: Total Wins, Weekly Wins, and Fastest Victory - 20+ achievements with hidden surprises to unlock - Roman-themed cards, ranks, and military progression - Quick matches that fit into any schedule - No ads.
