The Royal Writ

About the game

In The Royal Writ, you don't just play cards - you command them on the battlefield. Place your loyal subjects strategically as they advance toward the enemy, dealing damage. But beware: any card that reaches the enemy base before victory is permanently destroyed and removed from your deck for the rest of your run. Sacrifice isn't just a risk - it's an essential strategy that creates memorable sub-stories with each run. Will you honor the subjects who gave everything for your cause? Every fallen card tells a tale, and their glory lives on in the legacy you build. Lead an army of diverse warriors with interesting abilities that shape your strategy. Lead an army of adorable yet battle-hardened animals. Your ranks may comprise a frail and wounded flamingo, a short sighted chicken bowman, or even a crafty lizard who cheats death by only losing its tail! From the renegade red ants to the food taster cow, every card in your deck has a personality and purpose. As they march toward glory or death, their individual stories become part of your kingdom's legacy, and their sacrifices will never be forgotten. You may even come across some peculiar creatures on your journey, like the crazed mantis dentist, the goat tactician or the impatient boar shopkeeper - just don’t ask them where they got their credentials.
