How It Plays

Campaign / Battle Card Driven

Special cards trigger events and drive the action forward — each card played can shift the whole narrative.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Point to Point Movement

You move between connected locations on the board — the map's layout decides your travel options.

Secret Unit Deployment

You place your units face-down so opponents don't know what you've got — the reveal is always exciting.

Simultaneous Action Selection

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
