Area Movement

You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.

Dice Rolling

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

Movement Points

You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.
