Action Queue

You plan a sequence of actions in advance, then they play out in order — think ahead or get left behind.

Card Play Conflict Resolution

Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.

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.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Player Elimination

Players can be knocked out before the game ends — play carefully or you might be watching from the sidelines.

Race

It's all about getting to the finish first — every move counts when you're sprinting toward the goal.
