About Siege Duel

Trade trebuchet shots with a goblin engineer across a hilly battlefield. Adjust for the changing wind and bring down the rival keep before your own defenders fall.

How to play

Goal
Topple every goblin in the rival's keep before the rival topples every warden in yours.
How it ends
You win when the rival's last goblin falls; you lose when your last warden falls or your last load is spent.
Record
The fastest win and the fewest shots for each duel.
  1. You throw from the left, the goblin engineer throws back from the right. Topple every goblin in their keep before they topple every warden in yours.
  2. Drag back anywhere on the field and let go: the load flies the other way, harder the longer the pull. The dots show the first stretch of the flight in this shot's wind; your earlier paths stay drawn so you can correct. Or aim with ↑ ↓ and ← → and throw with Space.
  3. The wind changes every throw: the flag at the top and the pennant on the hill show it. Choose your next load from the chips (1–4): scatter stones split when you tap in flight, the iron ball is hard on stone, a fire pot bursts.
  4. You have ten loads. The clock runs while you aim, so a quick, sure hand wins the fastest times.
