What to Expect
You command secret armies on a modular hex board, reminiscent of the game Titan. The goal is to move hidden treasures to the capital Rai and hold them there for three turns. Each unit prefers specific terrain, which affects tactics. Combat is resolved through dice rolling, adding an element of chance.
