How It Plays
Advantage Token
A special token gives one player a small bonus — it might rotate or be earned through clever play.
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.
Betting and Bluffing
You place bets and try to read (or mislead) your opponents — poker vibes at the game table!
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Negotiation

Real-Time
There are no turns — everyone plays at the same time in a frantic rush. Fast and furious fun!
Set Collection

Tech Trees / Tech Tracks
You unlock new abilities or upgrades along a branching tech tree — each path opens up different strategies.
