Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Beginner vs Experienced mode — After beating the beginner level you can try the experienced level.
- Deck Manipulation — You draw a number of tool cards equal to the tool die; if the deck runs out you replenish from the discard pile and keep drawing as needed.
- Dice Rolling — On your turn you roll both the tool die and the move die; you may reroll both, then move up to the resulting distance between connected spaces.
- Dice rolling for tools and movement — On your turn you roll both the tool die and the move die; you may reroll both, then move up to the resulting distance between connected spaces.
- End of turn cleanup — End of turn you discard down to five tools; you can carry any number during the turn before discarding.
- Events — The app announces new threats and moves threats according to prompts during gameplay.
- Helicopter tokens — Helicopters can be discarded to move directly to any location and remain on a player's board until used.
- Reclaim as Action — Moving onto spaces with rubble tokens allows you to flip rubble to reveal required tools; if you have matching tools you can discard them to clear rubble.
- Rubble and Rebel tokens resolution — Moving onto spaces with rubble tokens allows you to flip rubble to reveal required tools; if you have matching tools you can discard them to clear rubble.
- Scientist collection and placement — Scientists appear on spaces and can be collected; they can be moved to plazas and then defeated when enough are gathered to defeat a monster.
