You have land, water, and aerial units to position around a grid-based map. Duke it out with the CPU or friends for supremacy. # Acquisition I bought this in a lot with *[[Castlevania - Circle of the Moon|Castlevania: Circle of the Moon]]*, *[[Kingdom Hearts - Chain of Memories|Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]*, [[Super Mario Advance]], *Tony Hawk's Underground*, and *The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King* from Goodwill. All in all, the lot cost $41.53 after tax and shipping; it was just $30 for the games. # Memories The label is strange on this cart. It has scratch marks across it that peel away a darker layer of shading; sort of like a scratch-off lottery ticket. I suppose if I took a coin to it and evenly scratched it, the art would look uniform again. # Related Posts - [[Wargroove will Support 10 Languages and will be Out "Very Soon"]] - [[Wargroove Release Date Revealed during Nintendo Indie Highlights]]
