Ironwood (French)

Take part for Woodwalkers or Ironclad in an asymmetrical tactical duel.

Each round, you and your opponent alternately play a total of 3 cards specific to your faction for their action effects. These effects include the positioning of your war groups, the triggering of the fight, the extraction of crystals, the granting of temporary passive effects, and many more. At the time of the fight, you will use the same cards for their combat values, in a simultaneous attempt to win combat bonuses, inflict and repel losses, and increase the dominance value of your war units to win the fight.

The two factions are completely asymmetrical in their game styles, their decks, their victory conditions - and even in the parts of the map they have access.

As an Ironclad commander, your main objective is to lay the foundations of your forges in the outer mountains and, once you have collected enough crystals, to build forges on these foundations. 

As a head of the Woodwalkers, your mission is to locate the old totems of your people using vision cards, to open the way to these totems by beating the troops of Ironclad, and finally to secure them in external, out of reach forests. Once you have recovered the third totem as a chef, or built the third forge as a commander, you immediately win the game.

Ironwood also offers a solo mode against Ironclad or Woodwalkers. Although the two solo opponents work according to the same principles, each of them has unique aspects of their faction.
