Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Set Collection

You're gathering matching groups of cards or tokens to score points — the more complete your sets, the better you do.

Tug of War

Two sides push a shared marker back and forth — you're in a constant tug for control of the middle ground.

Turn Order: Progressive

Turn order shifts gradually each round — the player in last often gets a helpful boost.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
