How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
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.
Area Movement
You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.
Card Play Conflict Resolution
Conflicts are resolved by playing cards instead of rolling dice — it puts the outcome more in your hands.
Contracts
You fulfill specific orders or contracts for rewards — choosing which ones to pursue is a big decision.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Map Reduction
Parts of the map disappear as the game progresses — the shrinking board ramps up the tension.
Memory
You need to remember where things are or what happened earlier — a sharp memory gives you a real advantage.
