An asymmetric woodland war game where each faction plays by entirely different rules. The Marquise industrializes, the Eyrie commands through decrees, the Alliance spreads guerrilla sympathy, and the Vagabond roams making deals. Learning one faction is easy — mastering their interactions is the real game.
