How It Plays

End Game Bonuses

Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!

Follow

When one player takes an action, others can follow along with a weaker version — piggyback on good moves!

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Income

You earn resources automatically each round based on what you've built up — the snowball effect is real.

Market

There's a shared marketplace where prices shift based on what players buy and sell — supply and demand in action.

Multi-Use Cards

Each card can be used in multiple ways — deciding how to play it is a juicy strategic choice.

Set Collection

You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
