How It Plays

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Dice Rolling

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

Modular Board

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

Player Elimination

Players can be knocked out before the game ends — play carefully or you might be watching from the sidelines.

Variable Player Powers

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