How It Plays

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

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.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Movement Points

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