About the Game

When a sect of 200-foot-tall wizards starts kidnapping adventurers, it only means one thing: a turn-based PvP card tournament. OBVIOUSLY!

Planks Wars is a light hearted fantasy cross platform card battler that blends CCG deckbuilding with an RPG party brawl. Each player commands a party of heroes with one simple goal: defeat the entire opposing party.

Draw. Plan. No regrets! Every turn you draw 3 tablets carved from the very Great Black Tree. Tablets belong to specific heroes, and you can issue only one command per hero per turn, so planning is everything. Don't need a tablet? Sacrifice it to fuel artifacts and gain crucial effects like damage, healing, or mana. Why waste magic wood when you can turn it into trouble for someone else? Recycling is important!

Pick. Order. Chaos. Targets and lane movement are automatic, so anyone can play instantly, even a four-foot-tall wizard apprentice. Then comes the serious part: the order of your commands, their timing, and your heroes’ growth can mean the difference between glorious victory and total humiliation in front of the Sect.

Skill-first, no trading, no grinding, no pay-to-win.

Will you embrace the power of the Great Black Tree and dominate the Warboard... or be turned to dust and swept beneath the Grand Master Wizard’s carpet?
