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.
Enclosure
You're surrounding and claiming territory on the board — fence off your space before someone else does!
End Game Bonuses
Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!
Map Addition
New areas get added to the map as you play — the world literally grows as the game goes on.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Pattern Building
You arrange pieces to create specific patterns that score points — like solving a colorful puzzle.
Square Grid
The board uses a grid of squares for movement — clear, familiar, and great for tactical play.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
