Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- allegiance cards and medals — Allegiance cards give ongoing powers and medals that modify overrun limits and grant spirit.
- Battle resolution — When the time track reaches icons, battles are resolved for all players; there are standard and final battles.
- build a wonder — Building a wonder costs seven cards, one from each of the seven clans; grants spirit and a one-off effect.
- deck management; draw and discard — Cards come from a common draw deck; discards go to a discard pile; decks are reshuffled when empty.
- deck manipulation — Cards come from a common draw deck; discards go to a discard pile; decks are reshuffled when empty.
- hand management — The game is at its core a hand and card management game; players manage cards across hand, road, and camps.
- march for allegiance cards, medals, and spirit — Marching allows gaining allegiance cards and medals, increasing spirit; cards are discarded from camps to pay costs.
- Overrun and regroup — If a clan reaches three cards in your road, overrun occurs, triggering regroup steps to reset road and camps.
- recruit, rally, summon — Steps in play and scout include gather (play), scout (rally or recruit), and summon (reveal from deck and check overruns).
- set/board management (road and camps) — Players gain cards to their hand, road, and camps, and they must manage them to avoid overruns.
- shield and face-down cards — Some cards can be played as shields; face-down cards can be wild and count toward certain stacks; shields protect and have rules when discarded.
- three turn types — On your turn you can play and scout, build, or march, each with its own sequence of steps.
- Time track — The game is timed by a time track with passing of time cards advancing the hourglass and triggering battles at icons on turns.
