About This Game

Real strategy — Fast. Fun. Fresh.

Crystal Wars is a turn-based territory strategy played on crystal maps that vary in shape and challenge. Every match deals a fresh Voronoi board — the geometry IS the strategy, and no two battles ever play out the same.
One click can flip everything: a flood-fill swallows a whole color cluster, an encirclement seals off all free crystals in an instant and claims them whole, a bomb chain redraws the map.
Made a bad move? See it, learn it, deal a new map, a new difficulty, a new color — change everything and go again.

Core Mechanics

• Flood Fill — one click captures every connected cell of the same color, allowing you to move forward faster
  
• Encirclement — wall off free territory and claim it all instantly
  
• Supply Lines — cut your opponent off from their base; isolated cells become easy prey and can be stolen from the enemy
  
• Bomb Chains — surround a bomb cell to set off chain reactions that reshape the battlefield
  
• Energy Crystals — capture one, get an extra turn and get ahead of the enemy
