How It Plays
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.
Ownership
You can claim and own certain game elements that give you ongoing benefits — mark your territory!
Square Grid
The board uses a grid of squares for movement — clear, familiar, and great for tactical play.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
