About Warden's Writ
A tactics game with nothing rolled. Every raider draws its strike before you move; you have three Wardens, one move and one action each, and a village of ward-stones that cannot move at all. Shove a raider and its blow goes with it — into a rock, a chasm, or its own friend. Stand guard beside a stone and take its hit yourself.
A writ is seven fights across two villages and a siege. Between fights you choose one of three writs — a rule the rest of the run plays by, never a bigger number — and the Wards you carry are the stones you have failed to keep.
Today's Writ is the same seven fights for everyone. Because no dice are anywhere in it, a run is exactly the taps that made it, the board replays every submitted run to score it itself, and any of the ten can be watched.
How to play
- Tap a Warden, then a lit tile to walk there. Tap Act, then a lit target: the board shows what will happen; tap Confirm.
- A move can be undone until the Warden acts. Tap any raider to read what it will do, and in what order.
- Blade strikes and shoves. Bow shoots along a line. Book binds and pulls, or raises a one-turn ward. Any Warden may stand guard beside a stone.
- A shove into anything hurts both. Bog costs the action. A chasm is the end. A seam is where the next raider climbs out.
- Hold the stones, rout the raid, or seal the seams — the fight names which. Lose a stone and you lose a Ward; at none, the writ is failed.

Three writs — Reeve, Warden and Marshal — that differ by the raid's strength and the Wards you start with. Every fight is generated for the squad you actually have and kept only if a one-ply bot can win it while holding the stones, and doing nothing would lose one. No timers anywhere.
