What are the game rules?

Totemancer is a strategy game where you place totems, capture land, and outplay your opponent. Follow these simple rules to play:

1. Turns

   Each turn lasts 30 seconds. You can place one totem per turn.

2. Skipping a Turn

   If you skip a turn (or time runs out), your opponent gets +1 Burst. After 2 skips, the Skip button is removed and replaced with Surrender. Using Surrender ends the match as a loss for you with reduced rewards.

3. Disqualification

   If you surrender or skip 3 times in a match, you lose the game. If this happens 3 times within 1 hour, you must wait 1 hour before playing again.

4. Burst Ability

   Each player starts with 2 Bursts per game. You can gain up to 2 more Bursts if your opponent skips turns.

   Burst can only be used when placing a totem. It destroys opponent totems and obstacles in all 8 surrounding tiles. Your own totems are never destroyed.

   If Burst causes you to lose land and you do not gain new land, your turn ends. If your score increases by at least +1, you get an extra turn.

5. Capturing Land

   Land is captured when tiles are fully surrounded by totems on all 4 sides (up, down, left, right). Map borders do not count as walls and cannot help capture land.

   The player who places the last connecting totem captures the land. If the surround is broken, the land is lost immediately.

6. Placing Totems

   You cannot place a totem:

   • on obstacles
   • on any totem
   • inside any captured land
7. Playing with Friends

   You earn rewards normally when playing with friends. These matches affect your Rating, but not your Ranking on leaderboards.

8. Regions

   You can play only in unlocked regions. If another player hosts a locked region, you may join and earn rewards there. Winning in locked regions gives drops, but does not unlock the region.

9. Game End

   The game ends when the board is full. The player with more captured land wins.

   If scores are equal, the game is a draw. Draws give small rewards, but no special drops.

   The game can also end early by surrender or repeated skipping.

These rules keep the game fair, competitive, and fun. Welcome to Totemancer.
