9 Kings
Developed by Sad Socket Studio
9 Kings. 9 cards. 9 tiles. In this pocket roguelike strategy game, you have to build a kingdom powerful enough to withstand the other king's invasions and be crowned the king of kings.
Combine your cards in endless ways. Practice diplomacy with the other kings. Try out insane builds and watch massive armies fight for your crown. Survive as long as you can and show us you can break the game.
Mixing card mechanics with Total War battles, this minimalistic massive war game was made to be played for endless runs.
