Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area control and token placement — placement of heroics, thugs, civilians, and threats across locations to control key spaces

- villain and threat deck manipulation — villain turns, threat spillover, and effects like legacy virus, psionic mastery, and force fields shape the endgame
