## What it is
Ancient Beast is a free, open-source, browser-based turn-based strategy game where players build armies of creatures and battle other players or bots in 1v1 or 2v2 matches. It is built with TypeScript and Phaser, runs on most devices, and is designed to be easy to learn but hard to master.

## Use cases
- play a turn-based strategy game in the browser
- play multiplayer strategy matches against friends or bots
- find a free chess-like tactical game with creature units
- contribute to an open-source HTML5 game project
- study a Phaser-based multiplayer game codebase
- play a strategy game on low-end devices or touchscreens

## When to choose
- you want a free, no-install, browser-playable turn-based strategy game
- you want skill-based tactical combat without randomness or pay-to-win mechanics
- you want to contribute to or learn from an active open-source game project

## When to avoid
- you want AAA 3D graphics or a native desktop/mobile game experience
- you want real-time or single-player-only gameplay
- you need a game engine or library rather than a finished game
