Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Addition — Used to defeat villains by combining dice numbers, e.g., 'add 3 plus 2, you get 5'.
- Card Drafting — Players draw 'Hero cards' and 'Bonus Powers cards'.
- cooperative play — Players are 'all working together to defeat the bad guys'.
- Dice Rolling — Players 'roll the three dice' and must 'apply math to the numbers on the dice'.
- Division — Mentioned as a mathematical operation that can be used.
- Hand Management — Bonus power cards can be 'save[d] this power for later, or use it immediately'.
- Modular Board — The game board has spaces for a truck and barricades, and villains move down it.
- Multiplication — Used to defeat villains, especially those with larger numbers, e.g., '2 times 5 to get 10'.
- Press Your Luck — The Infinity Truck moves down the board, triggering villain advances and potentially leading to a loss condition if villains get through.
- Set Collection — Players use dice results to match numbers on villain cards to defeat them.
- Squaring — Used to achieve higher numbers, defined as multiplying a number by itself, e.g., '3 squared is 3 times 3 is 9'.
- Subtraction — Used to defeat villains, e.g., '4 minus 1 is 3'.
- Variable player powers — Each hero has a 'special ability that you can use once per turn', such as changing a die or flipping a die.
