- Events — Effect cards introduce dragons, plagues, zombies that can alter board state and threaten tiles.
- fantasy_effects_and_events — Effect cards introduce dragons, plagues, zombies that can alter board state and threaten tiles.
- Movement Points — Watchtowers enable faster movement; roads and forests influence movement costs.

- recruitment_and_occupation — Players recruit armies and occupy towns, camps, and castles for rewards.
- resource_income_and_exchange — Town tiles generate income; resources can be exchanged to obtain others; towns produce wood and money.
- siege_and_castle_mechanics — Castles, walls, and siege weapons (e.g., catapults) affect combat and defensive capabilities.
