TicksAndTomes

Ticks & Tomes is a turn-based empire-building strategy game where you explore, expand, and go to war against real players from around the world.

Choose from nine fantasy races — Human, Elf, Dwarf, Troll, Gnome, Gremlin, Orc, Drow, and Goblin — each with its own strengths in combat, magic, industry, and exploration. Build your kingdom's economy, manage your resources, and grow your territory one tick at a time.

BUILD YOUR EMPIRE
Manage gold, food, and population. Construct buildings to grow your economy and military capacity. Every action costs ticks, so plan your empire's growth carefully.

WAGE WAR
Launch military attacks and raids against rival empires, or strike from the shadows with offensive magic. Victory seizes land and resources — defeat has real consequences for your kingdom.

FORM ALLIANCES
Join a clan to team up with other players, share resources, and coordinate your strategy. Chat with allies and rivals alike in real time.

TRADE AND PROSPER
Buy and sell resources on the open market, negotiate trade routes with other empires, or seek out the black market when official channels won't do.

COMPETE FOR GLORY
Climb the leaderboard each round and earn a place in the Hall of Fame, where the top players and clans are immortalized once the season ends.

PLAY YOUR WAY
Jump in instantly as a guest with no account required, or register to save your progress across rounds and unlock the full game, including combat, trading, and clans. Ticks & Tomes is free to play, with optional gem purchases available if you want to refill your turns faster.

Whether you're a seasoned strategy veteran or new to empire-building games, Ticks & Tomes offers deep, competitive gameplay you can pick up in a few minutes a day.
