How It Plays

Area Majority / Influence

You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.

Campaign / Battle Card Driven

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

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Deck, Bag, and Pool Building

You start with a basic set of cards or tokens and gradually add better ones — watch your engine grow stronger over time.

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.

Simultaneous Action Selection

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

Solo / Solitaire Game
