How It Plays
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
Grid Movement
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.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Movement Points
You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.
Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game
You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
