GAME-PLAY QUICK SUMMARY

On your turn, play a specialist card from your hand and send it to a sector location card. Each specialist has various values in control, victory points, or special utility (a bit similar in gameplay to Smash-Up). Manage the play order, adjust to opponent's move, and play the hand you have in most effective manner to win over your rival. While both players have the same cards in their deck, the random draw and mix of sectors help provide high replayability. This game is perfect for two players in short, quick-burst, pick-up-and-play sessions.
