The gameplay adheres closely to genre conventions while introducing a unique mechanic that allows players to strategically generate resources through card placement, enabling the purchase of unrevealed hexagons to expand the playable area. This blend of familiar and innovative elements enhances the overall experience.
“It fits pretty squarely into what one expects from the genre, but also has a unique and nifty mechanic: one of the cards, when placed strategically, generates a resource that allows you to buy unrevealed hexagons on the map to increase the playable area.”
