How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
Cooperative Game
Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Point to Point Movement
You move between connected locations on the board — the map's layout decides your travel options.
Set Collection
You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.
Trading
You can swap resources or cards with other players — making clever trades can give you a serious edge.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
