Crimson Company

Two noble rivals recruit ragtag mercenary companies and vie for control of three central castles. Players draft characters from a rotating offer of four cards by bidding coins; the opponent can either pay the bidder off to take the coins or pass and let the bidder play the card. Cards have strength values and a variety of one-shot or triggered effects that alter lanes, resources, or other cards. A lane is scored when a player has at least four cards there, and a castle is conquered by having higher total strength in its lane. The first to control two castles wins.
