Objective

Win lanes by having more total power than your opponent. You only score points for lanes you win. The player with the highest total score wins!

The Board

The battlefield is a 4×6 grid with 4 horizontal lanes. You start by controlling the left column, your opponent controls the right column. Each starting cell has 1 pawn.

Cards & Placement

Each card has a power value and a rank (1-3). To place a card, you need:

• Control of the target tile
• Enough pawns on that tile (equal to the card's rank)
• An empty tile (no existing card)

Card Patterns

When you place a card, its pattern affects nearby tiles:

• Neutral tiles: Captured and become yours
• Opponent tiles: Captured if they have no card
• Your tiles: Gain additional pawns (up to 3 max)
• Destroy cards: Can destroy opponent cards and capture those tiles

Scoring

At the end of the game, each lane's power is calculated by summing all card powers in that lane:

Game Flow

• Players take turns placing cards or passing
• You can reshuffle your hand once per game
• Game ends when both players pass consecutively
• Highest total score wins!
