How It Plays
Area Majority / Influence
You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.
Auction / Bidding
Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.
End Game Bonuses
Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!
Loans
You can borrow resources now but have to pay them back later — living on credit is risky but tempting!
Network and Route Building
You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.
Ownership
You can claim and own certain game elements that give you ongoing benefits — mark your territory!
Pick-up and Deliver
You pick up goods from one location and deliver them to another for rewards — efficient routes mean big payoffs.
