Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area Control — The board is divided into three regions. Controlling more followers in a region than your opponent yields more points (2 per follower if you control the region; otherwise 1 per follower).
- combat resolution — When opposing followers meet, players reveal hero cards with combat values and special abilities; dice are rolled based on the number of followers in the area, and outcomes determine losses in that region.
- drafting — At game start, players draft five cards across five rounds by selecting one of two options from the top of the deck, passing the other to the opponent; you end up with 10 cards total.
- Hero cards with unique powers — Each card has a distinct ability and a value that influences actions and combat; depth comes from choosing and remembering what your opponent’s cards can do.
- Resource and action economy — Each played card has action points and movement options; players can bolster areas or move followers between regions using action points.
