About this game
Two burrows face each other across a forest lane. Moss grows over time; spend it on four fighters that each beat another: shell beetles crush hares, hares leap the line to reach throwers and snails, snails sling boulders that crack beetles and gates, and throwers hit what flies.
How it works
Grow your gatherer, raise your burrow spitter, hold your warband at the flag or march it, and use Rootsnare to root a crowd. Eight battles include Ironbark, a siege tortoise that digs in halfway, and the Hollow Queen, who answers any warband that leans on one kind. Easy, Medium, Hard and Inferno change how the Rotwood fights, not just its numbers.
