Darkwaar is an experiment in creating and publishing small playable ideas regularly.

Today's puzzle

Today's Darkwaar is Darkwaar16, a turn-based strategy puzzle on one small board.

Every action costs a turn. Wood and ore are scarce. You wear one item at a time, and crafting a new one replaces the last. A tool gathers two. A blade strikes for two. A shield softens each hit by one. A raider strikes for two if you linger beside it. The guardian holds the goal.

A tiny browser puzzle for a few minutes of play.

How to play

• Tap MOVE, then a lit neighboring cell
• GATHER takes what is on your cell
• CRAFT spends wood and ore for one item
• STRIKE only works beside the guardian
• Reach 0 HP and you fall. Restart restores the same board
