Assimilation is an asymmetric zone-capture/battling game. Each round, 4 war zones will be up for the taking, but the points you score aren’t only dependent on the zones you capture, you also score points based on the number of troops that have been played to capture the zone, both yours and opponents! Quick-paced thanks to single action turns, each decision you make must build toward your strategic plan for victory.
In Assimilation you’ll battle rival commanders as you strive to outmaneuver whatever tactics come your way with your own clever strategies. Will you hammer down on a single zone or spread your resources wide in an attempt to trick your opponents into sacrificing their valuable resources? Whatever strategy you use, one thing is always true: the commander with the highest number of points at the end of the game wins and there is no prize for second place.
