How It Plays
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
Grid Movement
Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Movement Points
You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.
Zone of Control
Your pieces influence the spaces around them — enemies can't just waltz through your territory unchallenged.
