Like a king

Like a King runs on a simple loop dressed up as strategy: tap an empty tile to spawn a unit from your card collection, then draw a line from that unit to whatever you want it to hit. Every card behaves differently once it lands -- some units charge straight at the enemy, others sit back and mine gold, and a few exist purely to lay traps the other player will walk into without noticing.

The real game is in the deck you bring, not the taps you make during a match. A collection built entirely around aggression runs out of gold fast, and a defensive deck can get overrun before its traps pay off, so most matches are decided by whether your card mix can handle whatever the opponent throws first. Quests along the way add new cards to test against the ones you already trust.

How to play

Tap an empty tile to spawn a unit from your card collection, then draw a line from that unit to the enemy unit or building you want it to attack. Mix attacking units with gold-miners and trap cards rather than relying on one type, since a deck that only pushes forward runs out of resources fast. Watch what the opponent spawns and adjust your next card to answer it.

Controls
