Night Vigil

By day: match and build

Drag tiles to line up three or more. Grain, wood, stone, clay, and cloth flow to your village to raise houses, a sawmill, a blacksmith, a brickworks, and a weaver, then upgrade them level by level. Tap a building to make it the next to upgrade. You get 20 moves each day.

By night: the same board becomes a battlefield

After dark, every grain, clay, or cloth tile you clear summons a monster, and the higher your buildings, the tougher they get. Clear stone to sharpen your sword and wood to reinforce your shield. Your hero fights automatically, levels up, and loots chests for potions, bombs, and gear. Last 15 moves and dawn breaks.

The endgame: a dragon

Chests sometimes drop crystal shards. Collect four and a wizard's tower rises and unlocks magic. Then a lich appears; defeat it to summon the dragon. Slay the dragon to win, then start New Game+.
