Shields

Four great houses. One board. Every move decides which banner falls. Shields is a tactical puzzle set on a medieval battlefield. Line up three or more enemy shields to break them and claim the points. But the rule cuts both ways — line up three of your own and they shatter, and the loss is yours. Every move is a trade. The board is always offering you a quick point and a slow mistake at the same time. HOW IT PLAYS Move a shield. Match three or more of a rival house to break their line. Keep your own ranks scattered, because the board does not care whose banner it takes. Terrain narrows the field. Barricades sit heavy across it — they never fall, never clear, and never refill, but a firm push will shift one a single space. Learning to move them is learning to control the board. THE HOUSES Graymaw — the wolf. Ice and silver, out of the cold north. Elowen — the stag. Forest green, patient and deep-rooted. Roath — the lion. Gold and purple, proud and unyielding. Vyrath — the dragon. Crimson and bone, and smoke in its wake.
