Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Arrow mechanics — Cards feature arrows; placement must consider the number and direction of arrows.
- Card placement — Players place cards onto a shared grid, aiming to control spaces by placing orthogonally adjacent cards.
- End conditions — The game ends when a deck runs out (everyone gets equal turns) or when a player cannot make a legal move.
- Mulligan — Players may redraw if they have no cards with orthogonally facing arrows or if their hand has a suitable count of arrows.
- Orthogonal adjacency — A valid placement must be orthogonally adjacent to an existing card and oriented toward an arrow.
- Rotation/orientation — Cards can be oriented by the player when placed to influence subsequent moves.
- Scoring/tiebreaks — Winner is determined by the number of visible cards; ties are broken by the total number of arrows.
- Variants and stretch goals — Optional stretch goal cards introduce flavor text and once-per-game abilities.
