  • dual_sided_units — Many units have two sides (e.g., Archers, Spearmen) with different effects.
  • 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.
  • objective_and_effect_cards — Objective cards tell players to conquer tiles; effect cards provide various actions and combat modifiers.
  • 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.
  • tile_placement_and_map_expansion — Players place tiles to expand the map; tiles must connect by matching landscapes.
