LOCUS — Free Browser Playtest

What if you didn’t know your own  pieces?

LOCUS is a turn-based strategy game where both armies begin with hidden identities, including your own. Discover your pieces, decide what to reveal, and build a winning formation while disrupting your opponent’s plans.

Three ways to win

Form a Locus line, hold your stronghold, or eliminate the opponent’s ability pieces. A Locus can trigger a once-per-game reversal challenge.
