How It Plays
Grid Movement
Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.
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.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
Variable Player Powers
Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

These can be used without the orb cards.…
