State Wars

Can you hold every state against an army of angry neighbors? This territory war rewards fast fingers and faster betrayals.

State Wars takes the old 'conquer the map' formula and strips it to its bones. You start with a couple of colored states, each slowly generating troops. Drag from one to another to send a wave of soldiers marching across the screen. Claim gray neutral states to boost income, surround enemies, and don't blink when a big red blob suddenly has 200 troops on your border. There's no build order or tech tree here, just pure timing and reading the board. The real tension hits when you see a neighbor's numbers spiking—do you attack now before they do, or keep stacking your capital? I've lost matches because I got greedy and left a backline state at 2 troops. That's the whole game: every drag is a bet. Matches can swing in seconds, which makes it perfect for a quick break between classes. The drag controls feel great on mouse, and touchscreen works just fine if you're on a phone. No download, no account, just click and go. If you like Risk but prefer two-minute rounds, State Wars will eat your afternoon.

Left-Click (drag): Send Troops Touchscreen: for Mobile Devices

Reinforce your border states before starting a fight elsewhere—one undefended node can undo ten minutes. Neutral gray states generate fast early, grab them quickly before rivals notice. Don't send all troops at once; keep a small reserve so you can counterattack if the push fails. On mobile, drag with a quick flick to avoid accidentally selecting the wrong state. Watch the numbers, not the colors. A big territory with low troops is easier to take than a small one with a full stack. If you're about to lose a state, sometimes it's smarter to abandon it and reinforce the next line.
