Siege Duel

Read full description

Siege Duel is a sharp, fast tactical board game: move your piece, drop a wall, and squeeze your opponent until they have nowhere left to go. Easy to learn in 30 seconds, deep enough to keep you thinking for hours. Every turn you do two things — move to a neighboring square, then place a permanent obstacle anywhere on the board. Slowly the open space shrinks. The first player with no legal move is trapped and loses. FEATURES • Play offline against a smart AI or a friend on the same device — no internet needed for offline modes • Online ranked mode — get matched with players around the world and climb the leaderboard (optional, needs a connection) • No ads — ever • Optional cosmetic coins, board and piece themes — earn them by playing, or buy a pack to support the game • Smart AI with 3 levels (Easy, Medium, Hard) powered by a real search engine • 3 board sizes: 6×6, 8×8 and 10×10 • Warm, hand-crafted board-game look with a Knight vs Mage theme • 15 languages • Quick matches, instant restart, satisfying sounds and haptics HOW TO PLAY 1. Each player places their first piece on any empty square. 2. On your turn, move your piece to one of the 8 neighboring squares. 3. Then drop one obstacle on any empty square. 4. Corner your rival so they cannot move — and win. A pure strategy duel of territory and timing. Think ahead, build your walls, and spring the trap.
