How It Plays
Action Drafting
Players take turns picking from a shared pool of available actions — grab the one you need before someone else does!
Action Queue
You plan a sequence of actions in advance, then they play out in order — think ahead or get left behind.
Communication Limits
You can't just say whatever you want to your teammates — the game limits what you can share, which makes every hint count.
Cooperative Game
Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
