How It Plays
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.
Card Play Conflict Resolution
Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
