How It Plays

Action Queue

You plan a sequence of actions in advance, then they play out in order — think ahead or get left behind.

Dice Rolling

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

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
