A clean, chance-free duel where every move hands your opponent their next piece, tight and quietly brutal.

About this game

A pure two-player abstract with a devilish hook: no dice, no cards, just octagonal dragon towers racing across a colored board. But you can only move the tower whose color matches the square your opponent just landed on, so every move dictates your rival's options and vice versa.

The color rule chains both players' movesNo luck at all, pure tacticsShort rounds that beg for a rematch
