Two rulers. One cavern between them. Every match is a race underground: carve your own tunnels, strip the depths of gold, and the instant your paths collide the digging stops and the war begins. Two phases, five minutes of mayhem. Start as a miner. Smash through rock, carry gold nuggets back to base, and level up. But dig too greedily and you'll punch straight into enemy territory, flipping the match into open combat the moment your tunnels meet. Multiple kingdoms, multiple ways to win. Take the field as the King of Light, Lord of Death, Queen of Nature, or the Count of Chaos! Each with their own minions, buildings, and signature powers. Raise fallen soldiers as ghosts with a Necro Aura, poison everything you touch, turn your units into walking bombs, or gild your every strike with a Golden Touch. Build a base worth defending. Fund barracks, bomb factories, magic shields, and twin turrets straight from the gold you mine. Draft upgrades on the fly and tune your kingdom mid-match. No two runs play the same. Climb from pauper to legend. Win crowns, and rank up each hero's perks to unlock deeper strategies. Fast matches, endless mastery. Grab your pick. Your rival's already digging.
