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.
Cooperative Game
Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Solo / Solitaire Game
You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
About This Game
The Automated Player (or AP) uses an unused player’s components and focus bar, with the focus row essentially functioning as a highly simplified version of the code that operates the AI opponents in the Civilization video games, providing a series of instructions for how the AP functions. On the AP’s turn, it will resolve the focus card in the “5” slot of its focus row and reset that card to the “1” slot. To assist with that, the AP has its own set of unique focus cards, designed specifically to remove decisions from the AP’s turn so that you won’t feel like you’re playing for the AP yourself.…
