About this game

Control alien creatures on a hexagonal landscape of crystal mines to complete secret mission objectives. Draft units from a lineup, from cheap Humans to mighty Rubium Dragons, and send them to fight over mine hexes that generate the income to buy more units. Combat is simple dice rolling, but the secret mission cards add an objective-driven layer: score bonus points for winning specific types of battles. The Energize cards add powerful one-time effects. A light, aggressive hex wargame that plays fast and rewards confrontation.
