Drop Duchy

Drop Duchy combines block-dropping puzzles, deckbuilding and real-time strategy. You place pieces of different shapes and types to build a realm, gather resources, raise an army and protect your castle from enemy forces. Each run generates a new landscape and offers a different route through the regions you need to reclaim.

Build your realm

Place tile pieces beside forests, rivers and plains, aligning them to activate their rules and produce resources and units. Choosing which structures to put next to each landscape feature helps you use materials efficiently and grow your realm. Forming lines grants bonuses, while gathering resources lets you build your army and defend your castle. If the castle takes too much damage, you can be defeated.

Choose your path

Select a route through places such as lakes, glades, forests and villages, as well as markets and guilds. Trade with markets or guilds to acquire resources, then decide how to use them to upgrade your deck and prepare for the next round. Successful battles send your forces along branching paths toward the enemy fortress. If your army falls before capturing it, you can start another run and try a different strategy.

Cards and progression

Build and enhance your deck with over 110 unique cards offering upgrades and modifiers. Building and technology cards can unlock bonus structures that improve soldier recruitment and provide other perks. Between runs, more than 100 missions provide long-term progression, with rewards such as increased resources, new cards and additional health.

Three factions

You can play as The Duchy, The Republic or The Order. Each faction has exclusive faction quests with faction-specific rewards. Completing objectives across runs shapes your strategy and contributes to your ongoing progression.
