You are the legendary Minos Strategos (general of the ancient city of Minos)! Command the defenders of the temple by harnessing the power of specific battle formations to push back the Minotaur hordes. Minos Strategos is a quick single-player strategy game with a focus on elegance and clarity. Climb the single-player ladder as you devise flexible strategies, amassing an ever-growing collection of command cards as you go!
Inspired by the board game "Tash-Kalar" by Vlaada Chvátil, Minos Strategos has players creating, matching, and utilizing unit formations on an ever-changing battlefield. Unlock collectible command cards to summon powerful threats, clear large swaths of enemies in an area of effect, and form powerful chaining combos to play multiple cards in a single turn.

Axes and Acres
(88% positive)
"A quaintly Medieval exercise in chucking dice, flipping cards, and taming a pastoral landscape. BrainGood Games has done a fantastic job capturing boardgame elegance in a tidy videogame package, complete with a gently punishing metagame."
-Tom Chick, Quarter to Three
SkyBoats
(100% positive)
"These guys, BrainGoodGames, make some wonderful boardgame-like strategy games. Their newest one, Skyboats, is in the Euro game genre, and it is simply outstanding. The developers are very clever, and have obviously playtested the heck out of this design."
