How It Plays
Action Queue
You plan a sequence of actions in advance, then they play out in order — think ahead or get left behind.
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.
Deck, Bag, and Pool Building
You start with a basic set of cards or tokens and gradually add better ones — watch your engine grow stronger over time.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
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.
