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.

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

Trick-taking

Players play cards in rounds, and the highest card wins the trick — a classic card game mechanic that's endlessly satisfying.
