King of Time

King of Time

How the King of Time engine works

Time bends the calendar. A Portal sends the kingdom 2 years back when it reaches max level, Regression drops a plot one level while it keeps its stats, so the plot can be levelled again, and Rewind refills your hand with copies of the cards you last played. Around those sit two slow hitters. Warpers wait 17 seconds between attacks and summon melee units with half their stats, and the Hourglass is an extremely slow tower that releases one massive explosion. An Amplifier hands every buff it gains to a plot beside it. Little here is strong in the first years; the deck wins by repeating its best ones.

Cards that carry King of Time

  • WarperTroop

    5 Warpers a card, each summoning melee units that inherit half its stats. Buff the Warpers and the swarm follows.

  • HourglassTower

    An extremely slow tower that releases one massive explosion per charge. Attack speed from any source is what switches it on.

  • PortalBuilding

    At max level it sends the kingdom 2 years back. Years played twice are loot and yearly buffs collected twice.

  • AmplifierBuilding

    Gives every buff it gains to one adjacent plot, and to one more plot per level. Next to a Beacon or a Blacksmith it doubles what that building is worth.

Card stats per level

Playing a card onto its own plot again levels it up. Multipliers stack: a card at level 3 carries its level-up boost twice.
