How It Plays
Cooperative Game
Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!
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.
