Maatatahay

A 2-player tile-laying clash in which rival tribes battle for control of a newly discovered land and its powerful crystals. Over up to 12 rounds on a 5x5 map, players draft pairs of warriors, deploy them in formations, and use arrows, crystal powers, and shrines to strengthen their positions. Warriors are defeated when surrounded, making placement order, collective attacks, and safe allocation of units central to play. Victory comes from surviving warriors, Spirit Crystals, and relic bonuses.
