Siege, a card tower defense in ancient Petra

Siege is a real-time tower defense played with cards. Before each run you pick four cards, then drag troops, buildings, traps and power-ups onto a 5×5 grid around your tower while creatures climb out of the desert. It's set among the Nabataeans of ancient Petra, a civilisation games rarely show, and shares Fajjah's universe. It's live on Google Play.

Under the hood

Design decisions

Four cards, then commit

You pick four cards from troops, buildings, traps and power-ups before a run. Cooldowns and an in-run currency make every placement a real choice, not button-mashing.

Pressure that breathes

Each cycle runs lull, ramp-up, peak, so there's time to recover before the next surge. Enemies gain abilities mid-run, and a commander boss arrives every 10 waves.

Cards worth collecting

Common, Rare and Legendary cards: Nabataean guardhouses, ballista towers, catapults and oil towers. Duplicates and gold upgrade them.

Progress you can see
