Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area Control — Players place tokens to gain influence and control regions on the map, aiming to build contiguous areas of control.
- bag building — Tokens are drawn from a bag, and some actions (like gaining wealth) allow players to add more tokens to their bag, increasing their hand size.
- hand management — Players manage a hand of tokens drawn from a bag, choosing which ones to play to influence regions.
- player interaction — Players directly compete for control of regions, and some tokens allow players to disrupt opponents' influence.
- set collection — Collecting specific tokens, like Senate tokens, can grant advantages such as drawing extra tokens or placing additional control markers.
