How it plays

Earn victory points by gaining faction influence, winning conflicts, and acquiring cards and technologies. On your turn, play a card to place an agent and resolve its board space, using infiltrators, dreadnoughts, and resources; after placing agents, reveal remaining cards to buy cards and support conflicts. The game ends after ten rounds or when someone reaches 10 points; highest score wins.

Main mechanics explained

  • Hand management: Timing which card to spend is the core puzzle.
  • Deck / bag building: You shape your own deck or bag of resources as you play.
  • Drafting: You pick from a shared pool and pass the rest along.
  • Worker placement: You claim limited action spots before anyone else does.
