How It Plays
Contracts
You fulfill specific orders or contracts for rewards — choosing which ones to pursue is a big decision.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Race
It's all about getting to the finish first — every move counts when you're sprinting toward the goal.
Set Collection
You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.
