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.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
Trading
You can swap resources or cards with other players — making clever trades can give you a serious edge.
Variable Phase Order
The order of game phases can change each round depending on player choices — keeps everyone on their toes.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
