How It Plays
End Game Bonuses
Extra points are awarded at the end for meeting certain goals — keep an eye on those bonus objectives!
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Income
You earn resources automatically each round based on what you've built up — the snowball effect is real.
Set Collection
You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.
Solo / Solitaire Game
You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.
Tile Placement

Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
