How It Plays
Area Movement
You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.
Card Play Conflict Resolution
Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Memory
You need to remember where things are or what happened earlier — a sharp memory gives you a real advantage.
Secret Unit Deployment
You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
