How It Plays
Action Points
You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.
Area Movement
You move your pieces across different regions on the board, trying to position yourself in the best spots.
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!
Events
Random events shake things up during the game — sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic, always interesting.
Hand Management
You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.
Map Deformation
The map itself changes and warps during play — terrain shifts under your feet, keeping you adapting.
Modular Board
The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.
