ENGLISH: No one of the black and red ants doesn't remember who and when started their age-old war for the "Near Two Spruces" anthill. To end their timeless duels they decided to build castles with which their could acquire dominion of the whole territory. The goal of the game is to build 100-height castle or to destroy enemy castle. Tap to card to play it, swipe up the card to discard it. Every card needs certain quantity of raw materials. Speed of its generation depends on team quantity. ===== ČESKY: Nikdo z černých ani červených mravenců si již nepamatuje, kdo a kdy začal jejich odvěkou válku o mraveniště "U dvou smrků". Aby věčným soubojům učinili konec, rozhodli se postavit hrady, s jejichž pomocí by získali nadvládu nad celým územím. Cílem hry je postavit hrad o výšce 100 nebo zničit hrad soupeře. Stiskem (tapem) lze vynést kartu, tahem (swipem) zdola nahoru na kartě ji odložíte. Každá karta spotřebuje určité množství surovin. Rychlost tvorby surovin závisí na množství týmů. Hra byla s laskavým svolením autora převzata z původní desktopové hry, která byla snadno a rychle vytvořena v programovacím nástroji PETR.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mravenci holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Duelyst has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Mravenci's written reviews are positive against 88% of Duelyst's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mravenci ships an update every 12 months, Duelyst every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
