Territory Duel
PLACE – SURROUND – CAPTURE. Place your cell. Surround your opponent. Capture Territory. One well-placed move can flip everything!
A two-player territory game where every turn demands both attack and defense — and the board can flip in an instant.
Surround enemy territory and watch cascade captures ripple across the board. One move can swing the entire game.
Connect your Elixir across the grid and those cells become permanently yours. Building that chain is everything.
Extending aggressively leaves you exposed. Playing safe hands the board to your opponent. Find the edge.
A roulette selects your candidate cells each turn. Same rules, same board — but no two games ever play alike.
Five concepts. Infinite depth. You'll understand the rules in one game and spend months refining your strategy.
Each turn a roulette reveals candidate cells and directions. Tap to lock your choice and place your cells on the grid.
Surround your opponent's cells and cut off their liberties. Enclosed territory falls to you in a single resolution phase.
Connect your chain to your starting Elixir and those cells become immortal — they can never be recaptured.
Surround an area with an Elixir-connected chain to claim the entire area, including opponent and free cells.

Elixir was built from a simple question: what if a territory game rewarded both long-term planning and split-second adaptation? The result is a game where a commanding lead can evaporate in one turn — and every position contains a hidden comeback.
The roulette isn't a gimmick. It's the heart of the game. It forces you to think about what you'd do in any scenario, not just the ideal one. The best players don't just react to what the roulette gives them — they build board states where any option is dangerous for their opponent.
Three grid sizes let you choose your depth. An 11×11 game is a sharp skirmish. A 19×19 is a full strategic campaign.
Everything you need to go from curious to competitive.
The grid starts empty. Each player's Elixir begins in opposite corners. Your goal: connect your Elixir to a majority of cells before your opponent does.
Each turn a roulette selects up to four candidate cells and directions. Tap to lock your cell, tap to lock your direction. Your cells are placed on the board.
If your move surrounds an opponent's group — cutting off all their open spaces — that group is captured and becomes yours. Larger groups fall the same way.
When your chain connects to your starting Elixir, a flood-fill activates. Every cell reachable from your Elixir becomes yours. This is where big swings happen.
Cells connected to your Elixir become immortal — they can never be recaptured. Corner cells are immortal the moment they're claimed. Protect your chain.
