How It Plays
Campaign / Battle Card Driven
Special cards trigger events and drive the action forward — each card played can shift the whole narrative.
Communication Limits
You can't just say whatever you want to your teammates — the game limits what you can share, which makes every hint count.
Cooperative Game
Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!
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.
Grid Movement
Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Hexagon Grid
The board uses hexagons instead of squares — this gives you more directions to move and think about.
Legacy Game
Your choices permanently change the game for future sessions — what you do now matters next time you play!
