Mixing ideas from Chess and base-building strategy games, protect your King in Emplacement

By Liam Dawe - 14 December 2023 at 2:19 pm UTC

Emplacement is a King versus King turn-based strategy game, all about placing down tiles in a way that's a bit like Chess mixed with ideas from other more traditional turn-based strategy games.

Played on an isometric board, each player takes turns placing down tiles to progress towards taking down the enemy King. So you need to keep thinking and planning ahead on what tiles you want to go where, all while trying to protect your own King while also advancing on your opponent. Place down farms, barracks and more to use their productivity and gather resources and units.
