The goal
Occupy your opponent's headquarters, or be first to the number of medals the map asks for.
How it plays
- 1Pick one of the 8 maps. Each player shuffles their own troops face down and secretly removes 4. The first player takes 3 onto their rack, the second takes 4.
- 2On your turn do one of two things: draw 2 troops onto your rack (it holds 8 at most), or place 1 troop on the map and carry out its ability.
- 3A troop must be placed on a spot connected to your headquarters through bases you occupy. It can go on an empty base, on top of your own troop, or on top of an enemy troop weaker than it.
- 4When you occupy every base around a region, take the medals in its centre. You keep them even if you lose a base later.
How you win
Occupying the enemy headquarters or reaching the medal target wins at once. If a player can neither draw nor place, the game ends and more medals wins; on a tie, the player who ended it loses.
First time?
- If your rack is weak, draw. Don't force a bad placement.
- Break the enemy's chain and their front line is stranded. Guard the bases in the middle of yours.
- Each troop has its own ability. Check the reference before your first turn.
