Assaultous is a two-player strategy game in which you take the role of a Commander leading your army to defeat the enemy. To do that, you may need to expand your territory to gain more resources as quickly as possible — or you may want to attack like lightning before your opponent can prepare his defenses. Everything depends on your decision! On a turn, you roll a die and possibly gain resources, then you perform actions in whatever order you like: moving pieces up to twice a turn, purchasing and placing pieces or barracks, purchasing or playing a tactics card, or using the port. If you remove the opponent's Commander from play or take control of his capital, then you win.
