Auction / Bidding

Players bid against each other for cards, tiles, or resources — knowing when to go big and when to fold is the key.

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.

Network and Route Building

You connect locations to form networks — the bigger and smarter your network, the more points you earn.

Tile Placement

You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
