The Gristmill is a tactical strategy card game with light roguelike and deckbuilding elements from the Several People development team. Venture outside your fort's walls and do battle with unknown monsters, learning about how they function and adapting strategies to defeat them. Players will need to protect their camp, as any monster that reaches it will hurt the player’s units, and if all the units die the player loses. As the party ventures deeper into the woods, they’ll face stronger challenges and eventually do combat against a massive creature.

That snail has a *lot* of health.  It eventually died, but I don't know how to continue the game from there.  Is that the end?

Hi xyncht,

Sorry just noticed your comment. Thanks for checking out our game! What did you think?

Currently, yes, the snail is the last boss. We are actively working on adding and improving content, so stay tuned :)

Best,

Jason Rose
