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.
Auction / Bidding
Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.
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.
