Four things it is not.

Nothing is for sale. Battles are won by armies, never by money.
No hourly farming
A few decisions a day, not a job.
No install
It runs in the browser, on a phone or a desktop.
No endless world
Every world ends on day 30. Then a new one opens and everyone starts level.
Five races.
Human
The safe pick. The first level of every science is free, so you can follow wherever the war goes.
Trade and science
- Trade
- Sells food, buys what it lacks.
- Science
- The first level of every science free.
Elf
Fast, fragile, the best casters. Strike first, be gone before the answer comes, and let the spells hold the line.
Trade and science
- Trade
- Sells wood, buys iron.
- Science
- Magic cheaper, Military dearer.
Dwarf
Slow and expensive, and very hard to kill. Every soldier costs more and lasts longer.
Trade and science
- Trade
- Sells iron, buys food.
- Science
- Economy cheaper, Magic dearer.
Orc
Hits hard and eats a lot. Lives off plunder, not the market.
Trade and science
- Trade
- Takes more in plunder, buys food.
- Science
- Military cheaper, Magic dearer.
Undead
Weak one by one, overwhelming in numbers. Soldiers at half the price and twice the training, paid for in tax.
Trade and science
- Trade
- Sells gold from its tax, buys wood and iron.
- Science
- Magic cheaper, Economy dearer.
The hall.
No era has ended yet — the hall's board is open.
Six questions, answered.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Play puts you on the map. Keep the account later with an e-mail when you've something worth keeping.
- How long is a round?
- Thirty days. You join a world already under way, and your first city is one tap away.
- How much time does it take?
- Five minutes on most days; more on the first evening and during a siege.
- Who made this?
- One developer, in Lithuania. The whole story is in the devlog.
- What can I buy?
- Nothing yet. When something is for sale, the guide will say exactly what it does and the most it can buy in a round. Money will never buy resources, troops, combat odds, sight, spells or science.
- Phone or desktop?
- Both, in the browser.

Who made it.
I had the first ideas for Guilds & Blades in 2018. I built a first version from December 2020 to 2023; it took more time than I had and was never finished. In 2026 I rebuilt it from scratch and finished it. It's a war game of cities, armies and guilds: thirty days a round, a few decisions a day.
