Blind Kings

01 · Goal

Be the last side standing

Your side is eliminated when its King is dead and no mobile units remain. One remaining side wins; if several survive, the match ends after round 12.

02 · Battlefield

Know what is visible

A dashed ? is a past sighting, never a live position. Its HP, when shown, is from the labeled round. Coordinates stay A–K and 1–11 when you rotate the board; your King starts at the bottom.

03 · Move and AP

Draw a route

You have 3 AP each round. One unit's route costs 1 AP, whether it takes one step or its full range. Fighter moves up to 3 squares; Ranger and Assassin up to 5. Routes save automatically; tap the last square or drag backward to undo.

04 · Ready

Lock in your plan

Ready locks your saved plan. Unready unlocks it if planning is still open. The round resolves when every side is ready or the timer expires; at timeout, your latest acknowledged plan runs even if you never pressed Ready. With no saved route, units hold.

05 · Resolution

Everyone moves together

Occupied or contested squares can stop the rest of a route; a valid route is not a guarantee. Units then attack automatically from their final squares. The eight-second playback shows movement first, then combat; Skip animation changes only what you see, not the server clock.

06 · Combat

Three units, three attacks

Range counts horizontal plus vertical steps; terrain must leave a clear attack line. Kings can be targets. The Assassin chooses King, then Ranger, Assassin, Fighter. All attacks use the same end-of-movement moment, so two units can defeat each other.

07 · King and revival

Protect your fixed King

Every King starts with 300 HP. On Defense rounds it takes 65% less damage and does not attack; a shield marks that stance on the board. On Attack rounds it takes full damage and hits each enemy mobile unit inside its 3×3 castle for 40.

Defeated units revive at full HP on their original spawn after the following round's combat, if their King lives and the spawn is open. An occupied spawn delays revival. A dead King never revives and cancels pending revivals.

08 · Round advancement

King HP falls as rounds pass

The track below the board highlights the current round. Its red outline spans decay rounds 4–9. King maximum HP is 300 in rounds 1–3, then 250, 200, 150, 100, 50, and 1 at the start of rounds 4–9. Current HP falls by the same amount, but decay cannot kill a King.

Round 12 is final. If several Kings live after combat, their sides draw; if none live, the side with the most surviving units wins, with ties drawing.

09 · Round results

Read the aftermath

Results show only what your side could observe, plus public falls and revivals. A hit gives its participants combat detail; public fall news does not reveal a hidden location or killer. Tap a row to inspect its authorized board preview. Recent results remain into the next planning round, then expire.

If your side is eliminated, the next planning view becomes a spectator view. Finished matches reveal the final board.

10 · Tiles and markers

Read the ground beneath units

Move between surface and underground through stairs. Every square, including a stair, holds one living piece. Underground tiles can block attack lines; select a square to read its terrain and castle details.

A pale border marks a living King's castle. Teal route marks show your plan; a gray × shows where it stopped. Gold dots or edges preview possible attack reach, not guaranteed hits. In playback, teal (attacker) and red (target) marks show actual hits. A dashed ? is a past sighting; a solid × marks an observed fall.
