About this game
Build a civilization by playing colored cards into stacked columns that chain their effects. Play a military card and all previous military cards activate again, creating escalating combo chains. Or sacrifice cards to the gods for powerful one-time bonuses and a hand refill. The modular hex map means your buildings physically spread across shared territory, competing with neighbors for resources and space. Six card colors create distinct strategic paths: military conquest, trade networks, resource production, temples, and more. A civilization card game with genuine engine-building depth.
