How It Plays

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Line of Sight

Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.

Measurement Movement

You physically measure distances to move pieces — grab a ruler and get precise with your positioning!

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game

You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

The game uses 15mm scale (around 1:100) miniatures, allowing miniatures from other manufacturers to be used.…
