How It Plays
End Game Bonuses

Follow
When one player takes an action, others can follow along with a weaker version — piggyback on good moves!
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Income
You earn resources automatically each round based on what you've built up — the snowball effect is real.
Market
There's a shared marketplace where prices shift based on what players buy and sell — supply and demand in action.

Each card can be used in multiple ways — deciding how to play it is a juicy strategic choice.
Simultaneous Action Selection
Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.
Variable Phase Order
The order of game phases can change each round depending on player choices — keeps everyone on their toes.
