Trial By Fire is a real-time multiplayer strategy card game that fuses deckbuilding with grid-based tactical combat. Every match is a duel of positioning and planning — summon your forces onto the field, maneuver them across the battlefield, and fight your way through your opponent's defenses to destroy their base.
