How to Play
The game takes place on a 9x3 grid. Any time you move into the unclaimed territory, you claim it for yourself. If you retreat, the area you claimed will slowly turn back into no man's land so you have to maintain your territory. The last two columns will always be yours so you always have somewhere to run. You can move freely in your territory but your opponent’s is off limits.

Attacking
Each player will pick 6 of the 15 available attacks and then the battle begins. You will have 3 attacks available at any given time throughout the fight and you can use them to deal damage and lay deadly traps. After you use an attack, your next attack will take its place and the one you used moves to the back of the line.

Attacks Classes
There are 4 classes of attacks
The Direct class is your primary method of doing damage. These damage specific areas relative to your location. Wait until you have the opponent in your sights, then pull the trigger!
The Trap class lets you place obstacles on the battlefield. They can throw an opponent off but watch your step, they affect you too!
The Indirect class, these attacks start from your own back row and advance along the battlefield. Some of these can backfire and hurt you as well so use them wisely.
The Ally class is the last class. These attacks let you summon a friend to help you out. Friendship is a two-way street though, they will fight for you but you have to protect them too!
