Claim battlefields and reach 8 points

Learn the physical objective that connects units, combat, control, and score.

Rules 2026-07-16Reviewed 2026-08-11

Battlefields are shared objectives

Each player brings a Battlefield, and once play begins those Battlefields are available to contest and control.

Control creates points

Taking control of a Battlefield scores a point. Keeping control can score again on a later turn, so the board position matters after the first claim.

Know the finish line

In a standard individual game, the first player to reach 8 points wins. Team play uses a different target, so confirm the format before starting.

Takeaway

The physical game is about controlling Battlefields long enough to reach the format's score target.
