Grid Ward, the city-grid tactics game with no dice
An iPhone game asks you to keep a simplified city powered through five stormy nights by allocating scarce power, managing line capacity, and dispatching repair crews.
Field notes
The game models a six-node city grid in which supply and route capacity are separate constraints. Players can leave a reserve, toggle routes, and assign crews whose one-to-three-shift durations make repair order consequential. A shift review lists allocations, delivered power, line loads, crew assignments, and overload consequences before confirmation; the campaign records decisions in a filterable incident ledger.
