Quotes (from this video)
- This is Neon Gods coming up
- I think for me I do really like the way this game is put together
- it simplifies the the dominion-ness of the deck building style so instead of getting a card that has a whole lot of text describing its effect really here you're building your deck with simple icons that drive your strategy
- it's neat it's tactical so you can score after round three and then go and do something else it's simple because you're drafting these icons there's only five or six of them in the game right yes and it's quick playing

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area Control — The game is fundamentally an area control game where players move figures around the board. There is a limit of two figures per area, and battles are resolved to control spaces for scoring.
- building — Players can build watchtowers (for defense), monuments (for scoring points/making spaces valuable), and factories (to produce goods for selling).
- Deck Building — Players build their decks with simple icons that drive strategy, with recruits costing zero, one, three, or five depending on how long they've been available. The number of cards in hand often equates to the number of figures on the board.
- Dice Rolling — Dice are used in battles, with cards showing a number of dice. Players roll these dice, and the hits are added to the number of people in or adjacent to the area to determine the winner.
- Onboard Tactics — The game combines deck building with onboard tactics, where playing cards allows players to perform actions on the board, including moving figures and engaging in battles.
- Resource Management — Players manage money to buy recruits and build structures. Goods can be produced in factories and sold for money based on distance from the base.
- Set Collection — While not explicitly a set collection mechanic, certain structures like monuments contribute to end-game scoring and make spaces more valuable, implying a strategic element in their placement.
