What is Prismata?

Prismata is a free-to-play, turn-based strategy game that combines card-game and tabletop tactics with robot army building. In matches against other players or AI, you gather resources, build units, and time attacks and defenses. Its single-player campaign follows human commanders on the distant planet Beacon as their robots begin to malfunction.
