How It Plays

Dice Rolling

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

Hexagon Grid

The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.

Secret Unit Deployment

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