How a battle works

Two fortresses. Three minutes. One keep left standing.

Each player defends a walled fortress: a Gate and two Bastions in front of the Keep. Ember fills your bar every second; spend it on troops, buildings and spells, and push through before the clock runs out.

A Barnstorm battle: blue and red fortresses facing each other across a river, with the card hand and Ember bar below

  1. Pick eight cards

    Knights, archers, war elephants, siege engines and alchemist spells. Every card costs Ember, so a deck is a plan: cheap answers, a few big threats.

  2. Deploy and fuse

    Drag cards onto your half of the field as Ember refills. Drop one card onto another and they fuse into something stronger, right in the middle of the fight.

  3. Break the wall

    Every fortress has a Gate, two Bastions and a Keep. Crack the wall for crowns, bring down the Keep for all three, and hold yours for three minutes.

Alchemy

Fusion is Barnstorm's signature move: two cards from your hand become one stronger card, right in the middle of a fight. Some recipes are known. Others are secrets, hidden behind riddles in the Workshop.

FAQ

Questions before your first siege?

Is Barnstorm free?

Yes. Barnstorm is free to download and play, and every card can be earned by playing: caravans come from battles, quests and the Trophy Road, not from the shop. Optional purchases are gems, offers, the Campaign Pass and cosmetic skins.

How long is a battle?

Three minutes. Ember flows twice as fast in the last minute, and if the crowns are tied, one minute of overtime decides it.

How do fusions work?

Drag one card in your hand onto another. If the two are a recipe, they fuse into a stronger card that you can deploy right away. Pairs that can fuse glow in your hand. Some recipes are secret: you find them through riddles in the Workshop.

Do I play against real people?

Yes. Battle looks for a real opponent with a similar trophy count. When nobody is available within a few seconds, a computer-controlled opponent fills in so you never wait long.

Can I play with friends?

Join or start a clan to chat, trade card donations and play friendly battles, team up in 2v2, or send a friend your invite code for rewards.

Which devices can play it?

Android phones and tablets through Google Play. The iPhone and iPad version is coming soon to the App Store.

Do I need an account?

No sign-up. The game makes an account for your device the first time it goes online, and your progress is saved on our server.

Your fortress is waiting.

Download Barnstorm free on Google Play. The iPhone version is on its way.
