How to play

You play as either Dusk or Dawn. Your goal is to conquer the other side by taking over its cells. You have to attack their side and defend yours simultaneously.

Each player takes turns choosing a cell at a time. When they choose a cell, they add 5 points for their side to that cell and to all its neighboring cells (up, down, left, right).

Each side has a passive effect of substracting 1 point from the cell's points (if any) at the start of that player's turn. Thus, both your side as well as your opponent's have a defensive effect that should be accounted for before making your move.

You can attack as many times you want, but you can only actively defend, by choosing a cell on your side of the board, a limited number of times. This is determined by the available shields. Each defensive movement costs one shield. Once your shields are depleted, you can't actively defend anymore.

The game ends when a side has been conquered by the opponent. Attack relentlessly, keep an eye on your side for defense, and set up traps to catch your opponent off guard!
