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.
Auction / Bidding
Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.

Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
