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.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

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!

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

Worker Placement

You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!
