How It Plays
Auction / Bidding
Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.
Income
You earn resources automatically each round based on what you've built up — the snowball effect is real.
Network and Route Building
You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.
Stock Holding
You invest in companies or assets that change in value — buy low, sell high, and watch your portfolio grow!
