Why you’ll love Thorne and Fang
Thorne and Fang is simple to learn but rich to master. The asymmetric nature of the game gives each side distinct goals and decision spaces: attackers must coordinate and surround, while defenders must protect and escort the King to safety. This creates dramatic tension, memorable comebacks, and countless strategic patterns to discover. The game is perfect for board-game lovers, strategy players, and anyone looking for a thoughtful mobile experience that rewards planning and adaptation.

Core features

Asymmetric 11×11 gameplay: Two sides, different objectives — defend the King or surround him. The throne and corner forts alter capture rules and create unique tactical landscapes.

Multiple game modes: Local pass-and-play for couch duels, single-player vs AI with three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard), and asynchronous online turn-based PvP via Play Games Services.

Smart AI options: Play against a Random AI for relaxed matches, a Heuristic AI for a balanced challenge, or a Minimax-powered AI for a serious strategic test.

Entry fees & rewards: Optional PvP entry fees (gems) and winner payouts add stakes and excitement — risk for reward.

Rewarded undo: In single-player, watch a rewarded ad to undo your last move — a player-friendly safety net that’s optional and transparent.

Save & resume: Suspend and resume games at any time. Serialized game states let you pick up multiplayer matches later or continue a paused duel.

Clean, accessible UI: Clear highlights for legal moves, clean piece art, and in-game help make learning the rules painless.

Privacy-first & transparent monetization: Ads and rewarded videos are optional, and any purchases or gem transactions are clearly disclosed within the game.

Gameplay overview
Thorne and Fang is played on an 11×11 board. The King starts near the center on the throne; defenders protect him, attackers try to capture him. Pieces move orthogonally and slide across empty squares. Captures are performed by sandwiching enemy pieces between two allies or between an ally and a special square (throne/corner) according to the ruleset in the tutorial. Defenders win if the King reaches any corner square; attackers win by surrounding and capturing the King. Subtle throne and corner rules change capture dynamics and create intense endgames where positioning and sacrifice matter.
