A campaign / battle card driven and command cards game. Rated 8.5 on BGG.
How It Plays
Campaign / Battle Card Driven
Special cards trigger events and drive the action forward — each card played can shift the whole narrative.
Command Cards
Special cards let you issue orders to your units — picking the right command at the right time is critical.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Line of Sight
Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.
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.
Variable Phase Order
The order of game phases can change each round depending on player choices — keeps everyone on their toes.
