Forge War*

Players take on the role of blacksmiths in a kingdom plagued by marauding harpies, cursed dungeons, and fire-breathing dragons. They must gather ore from mines, purchase weapon designs, and forge weapons for adventurers, who return with ore, money, and rewards to invest in their burgeoning blacksmith empire.

At its core, the game features aggressive investment strategies through quest acquisition. Players face challenges in managing these quests, as they progress and grow more difficult over time, requiring additional resources to avoid failure. Each round consists of three phases: moving figures to maximize resource production, participating in a market phase with action-blocking mechanics, and acquiring quests from a pool of available cards.
