Players spread through the map in order to collect points at the end of the game by having majorities in regions and continents. All actions (such as land or sea movement, army production, or the founding of cities) are driven by cards that are face-up (six at a time) and available by increasing prices. Cards also contain \u003cem\u003eresources\u003c\/em\u003e, which also give points when the game ends if properly collected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts first version was available as \u003cem\u003eprint-and-play\u003c\/em\u003e, and a regular (Kickstarter funded) version was published in 2013.
