No one strategy will help you dominate your opponent. You’re going to have to learn to play offensively and defensively in order to survive. The general idea of the game is to expand your territory by attacking nearby enemies. To do so, simply tap any of your countries that has at least two armies within, then tap on a bordering country you wish to occupy. Each army within a country represents a single die. The higher total of dice wins the battle. Ties go to the defender. At the end of each turn you’ll receive bonus armies based on the number of armies in your largest unbroken cluster. Use them wisely, because once you’re out, it’s game over.
Strategery is available for free today only (08/26). It has a 4-star rating with a total of 2673 ratings.
