Gridhammer

About This Game Gridhammer is a tactical plate battler where every placement matters. Draft plates from a shared pool, read the board, and outmaneuver your opponent — one plate at a time. The Grid Awaits Place plates on a shared grid. Each plate carries four corner values — when yours lands next to an opponent's, the higher side claims it. Captures cascade across the board. One placement can flip the entire match. Five Houses, One Forge Forty-five plates. Five houses. One shared pool. Every plate you draft is one your opponent doesn't get. Each house has a unique power shape — Embercrest strikes from above, Stoneheart anchors from below, Runeweaver dominates the columns, Stillforge holds even on every side, and Shadowmine plays a different pattern every tier. No Luck. All Skill. No loot boxes, no random pulls, no pay-to-win. Both players draft from the same pool of plates. The difference isn't what you have — it's where you put it. A low-tier plate in the right position beats a high-tier plate in the wrong one.
