Gameplay Mechanics

Command Your Destiny

Shape the fate of your people with every turn. Will you expand your borders, drive innovation, or raise mighty armies? Every decision leaves a mark on history.

You wield action cubes - the essence of your leadership. Each one is an opportunity to enact your will.

Deploy action cubes to build cities, conquer new lands, and recruit new forces. The more territory you control, the more actions you command. Spend each cube wisely—or watch crucial opportunities slip away.

Master the Markets

Your lands overflow with stone but lack food? Turn scarcity into profit through trade. With every deal, you reshape the market to your advantage.

Buy low, sell high. Prices shift with every exchange, demanding anticipation and boldness. Flood the market with your surplus and watch prices drop, or withhold rare goods and control demand.

Build far-reaching trade networks. Today's partners may be tomorrow's rivals - or your next conquest. Every deal is a new opportunity.

Forge trade networks that span continents. Build far-reaching trade networks. Today's trading partner could be tomorrow's rival - seize each opportunity before it slips away.

Lead the Charge

When words fail, steel speaks. Choose your battleground carefully - use terrain and fortifications to your advantage.

Victory depends on preparation and positioning. Deploy your forces where they matter most; each choice changes the odds.

Battles are resolved with the battle bag: your armies become cubes. The more you commit, the greater your chances - yet fate always has a say. Every pull means losses for one side or the other: simple, brutal, and tense to the end.

Seize Power

Your tribe has grown - and your people demand leadership. How will you rule?

Choose your path: rule with an iron fist as an Autocrat, unite the nation as a Democrat, or channel divine will as a Theocrat. Each government unlocks unique strengths and changes the way you fight, expand, and win.

You're never locked in. Revolution brings new opportunities if you dare to act. Three forms of power, countless strategies. Which leader will you become?

Navigate the Storms of History

Plagues, rebellions, golden ages: history constantly tests your civilization. At the end of each round, all players vote to decide which event will change the world.

Adversity is inevitable. Disasters and crises unleash black cubes - representing corruption, heresy and rebellion. The greater your empire, the more challenges it must endure.

You can try to prepare for coming crises - but true mastery lies in diplomacy. Negotiate, form alliances, and guide the vote to minimize the damage or shift the burden to your rivals.
