How It Plays
Area Movement
You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.
Cooperative Game
Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Team-Based Game
Players split into teams and work together to outplay the other side — teamwork makes the dream work!
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
Worker Placement
You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!
