About the Game

Long ago, the world’s origins shrouded in mystery. According to the temple and sage, the ancient god named this fabulous world "Taiyi". A million years ago, a world-destroying catastrophe split the world into two closely related continents: the Dark and the Glory, following ancient gods' principles.

After billions of years of internal friction, the resources of "Taiyi" have become scarce. The continuous infiltration of chaos power from outside the continent has created extremely harsh living conditions for creatures. Due to the restraint of the truth power, the chaos power cannot directly invade "Taiyi". However, it uses the desires of sentient beings in "Taiyi" and manipulates puppets to greedily devour the world of "Taiyi"……

Win or Die stands as a fast-paced and highly competitive multiplayer strategic board game, focusing on 1V1 game mode. Its core mechanism akin to the classic game of Stratego. Game elements includes legion formation, fog of war, terrain occupation, unit countering, collection and allocation of resources, etc. Players engage in battles without prior knowledge of their opponent's legion, launching attacks or using skills to unveil their deployment and lay them to ruin.

There are five selectable factions for players. Each faction has one leader and 6 different units. Each leader has two skill combinations, allowing players to form different legions.

Win or Die released in China in 2020 and received a score of 7.9 on Gstone (the largest Chinese board game database and social app). After three years of optimization, the game has improved its components and artworks. Ensuring the readability of unit information and making the game operations more convenient and intuitive for players.
