How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
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.
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
Events
Random events shake things up during the game — sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic, always interesting.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Trading
You can swap resources or cards with other players — making clever trades can give you a serious edge.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
Worker Placement
You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!
