Alan Newman's Dynasties

In Dynasties two rival players seek to control China through marshalling their forces and conquering the five main provinces of ancient China. But it isn't as easy as it sounds. There are a limited number of armies available and both players have the exact same options to choose from, making the game a question of skill in choosing when and where to use those options and to deploy armies. Deploy them too soon and in the end, a great lead will be lost; deploy them too late, and the enemy will have unavoidable victory!

Reviews

Fun Concept, problematic execution.
Great time killer cannon game

This would be a very fun and absorbing card/tile based stategy game, but the UI is needlessly obscure. One thing that stands out in particular is the discard step at the end of the turn, which does not work Presley and requires the player to repeatedly swipe three fingers over the bottom right of the screen until a random card is removed. It is clearly supposed to be drag and drop like the rest, but doesn't allow the player to reliably pipck up the card.
