Grim Siege

Grim Siege is a one-versus-one strategic card game set in a dark fantasy world. Each player has a tower protected by a wall, and the opponent must break through the wall before they can damage the tower itself. Players win by raising their own tower to the required height or by reducing their opponent’s tower to nothing. Each turn involves choosing between defence, growth and attack.

Cards are organised into three schools of power. Stone covers defence, walls and shields; Blood covers magic, status effects and the tower; and Slaves covers aggression and quick strikes. Players manage income and resources, but an inflation mechanic prevents hoarding indefinitely, so tempo is a factor. Six classes are available, each with its own ability, strengths and weaknesses, signature school and upgrade branch: the Siege Master, Plague Lord, Zealot Cultist, Warlord, Architect and Dusk Baron. Players build decks around their chosen class and preferred playstyle, and a status system including Rot, Veil, Silence, Chains, Shield, Spikes and Cleanse allows for combinations and counterplay.

The game includes matches against AI at multiple difficulty levels, quick and ranked online PvP on a dedicated server, and private lobbies with invite codes for playing against friends. Grim Siege is in active development with a stated focus on balance for competitive play. Planned additions include new classes and cards, a visual overhaul with an interactive 3D interface, a story mode, additional AI modes, and two four-player modes named Chaos and 2v2.
