Attrition is a real-time strategy game built around city development, troop deployment and territorial conquest. Players begin with a single city, construct factories to support their expansion, raise an army and capture rival cities. Matches last 45 minutes, and victory goes to the commander with the most War Points when time runs out, making both growth and battlefield decisions central to play.

The game offers several ways to get started or compete. Players can join upcoming public games, challenge AI opponents, create or enter a private game, or learn the basics through a tutorial. A nickname or alias is used to identify players. Attrition is marked for ages 14 and up, and its site also provides privacy and terms information, along with a contact option.

The experience is designed for direct, competitive play, with a clear objective and a fixed match duration. While the available page indicates public-game connections and reconnection support, it does not provide further details about platforms, pricing, or additional features.
