Iron Ruler

Iron Ruler is a turn-based strategy game played on a board, with games lasting 20–60 minutes. You can play with friends or family, or against one or more AI opponents. Its rules use the triangular number sequence: 1 unit counts as 1, 2 units as 3, and 3 units as 6, making decisions more impactful than simply pitting stacks of units against each other.

Maps and setup

A configurable procedural map generator creates varied challenges and lets you start a game in seconds. The game also includes 10 pre-built maps covering North America, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Caribbean, as well as a map editor for making custom maps.

Seasons and strategy

Each game moves through four seasons: Harvest, Development, Conquest and Logistics. You can use them to advance gradually toward victory or plan a decisive blow for a quick finish.
