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.
Area Movement
You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.
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.
