How It Plays

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

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.

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.
