How It Plays
Dice Rolling
You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!
Grid Movement
Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.
Measurement Movement
You physically measure distances to move pieces — grab a ruler and get precise with your positioning!
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game
You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.
