A Fair Competitive Game

Skill First, Always

Many online games mix strategy with monetization that affects power. Totemancer follows a different philosophy: the board is equal for everyone, and victory comes only from better decisions.

What “No Pay-to-Win” Means

• No purchase can increase your chance to win a match
• Cosmetics never influence gameplay
• All players use the same rules and mechanics
• Progress is based on understanding, not spending

Balanced by Design

Mechanics such as Burst and extra-turns are identical for every participant. Matchmaking pairs players by rating so competition remains challenging and fair.

Why Fairness Matters

Real strategy only exists when outcomes depend on thought. A fair environment encourages learning, creativity, and long-term enjoyment instead of frustration.

Healthy Competition

Leaderboards reward consistency, not purchases. Clans and tournaments celebrate teamwork and skill rather than who invested more money.

Transparency

Game rules are clear and deterministic. When you lose, the reason is visible on the board – and that makes improvement possible.

Totemancer aims to feel like classic mind sports: respectful, honest, and decided purely by intelligence and imagination.
