Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• abstract strategy — This is a lightweight strategy game, you know, not a party game or cooperative game. This is a two-player only head-to-head game.
• Area Control — You are going to be moving your colored discs around the grid and trying to stack up your discs because as you stack up discs, they will score more points.
• tile flipping — When you activate one of those tiles to move your discs, it flips over to the other side. Once it is used a second time, it is out of the game.
