How It Plays
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!
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
