A medium action queue and hexagon grid game. Rated 5.6 on BGG.
How It Plays
Action Queue
You plan a sequence of actions in advance, then they play out in order — think ahead or get left behind.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
