Staff, Star & Shield

Two Houses.
One contested land.
Endless ways to win... or lose.

A single slight ignites a war of wits. A missing banner. A wandering cow. A prank gone wrong. Suddenly, fields become battlegrounds and every square matters.

Command your House. Deploy Staffs, Stars, Shields, and legendary Sentinels to claim territory, stack power, and outthink your rival. Every placement is a gamble. Every move can turn triumph into collapse.

This isn’t luck.
It’s nerve.
It’s timing.
It’s seeing the trap before it snaps shut.

The board is ready.
Both Houses are poised.
Let the conflict be resolved, for good ‘n all!

This game combines elements from:
• Tic-Tac-Toe - the board layout, three-in-a-row mechanic, spatial strategy.
• Rock-Paper-Scissors - the unit hierarchy and “covering/stacking” system. (Staff beats almost anything, Star beats Staff, etc.)
• Chess (or abstract strategy like Checkers) - the tactical depth, planning multiple turns ahead.
