How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
Area Majority / Influence
You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.
Area Movement
You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.
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!
Die Icon Resolution
The symbols on the dice tell you exactly what happens next — each face triggers a different effect.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Negotiation
Players talk, bargain, and make deals with each other — your persuasion skills matter as much as your strategy.
