How It Plays
Action Drafting
Players take turns picking from a shared pool of available actions — grab the one you need before someone else does!
Contracts
You fulfill specific orders or contracts for rewards — choosing which ones to pursue is a big decision.
End Game Bonuses
Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!
Income
You earn resources automatically each round based on what you've built up — the snowball effect is real.
Network and Route Building
You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.
Turn Order: Stat-Based
Turn order is based on a game stat — the player with the best score in that stat goes first.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
