There is a built-in catch up mechanic where a trailing player can discard a card in their tableau to be able to roll additional dice (the difference between the player and the leader) in order to have a more productive turn. The cards are worth points based upon the orange dots on the bottom of the cards. There are 2 different kind of resources available: stable (white dice) and unstable (gray dice) and CHIPIs that are put out on the game table. There are recommended setups for the first game, different types of game feels, and also there is an app that will be available that can be used to generate a game setup. These cards can produce resources, attack opponents, allow you to trade with opponents, exchange cards, and there are other cards that add different elements to the game.

The game employs a dice-drafting mechanic coupled with activated card abilities where players gather resources (dice) to build new buildings and establish a new colony.
