How It Plays

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Campaign / Battle Card Driven

Special cards trigger events and drive the action forward — each card played can shift the whole narrative.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Line of Sight

Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Variable Player Powers

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