How It Plays

Campaign / Battle Card Driven

Special cards trigger events and drive the action forward — each card played can shift the whole narrative.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
