How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
