The Temporal War

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

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!

Grid Movement

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

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.

Map Reduction

Parts of the map disappear as the game progresses — the shrinking board ramps up the tension.

Movement Points

You get a set number of movement points to spend on moving your pieces — plan your path carefully.

Turn Order: Pass Order

The first player to pass gets to go first next round — knowing when to bow out early is a real skill.
