| In Turnfolk | |
|---|---|
| Where you play | In any modern browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. No download. |
| Price | Free. The shop sells only looks and one extra land. |
| Map | Hexes, on 4 lands (Frontier, Lakeland, Highlands, Deep Woods) and Islands, where units take to boats. |
| Research | 12 crafts, each paired with a rival craft that it locks for a while, so you commit to a direction. |

| With friends | A duel through a link, moving one after the other with a clock on each move. |
| Every day | A daily challenge: the same map for everyone, with prizes for the best ten. |
