A territory control game where the board shifts beneath you. Plan for the quake. Bid for control. Watch empires crack.
Learn the game →The board is made of interlocking hex tiles on tectonic guide rails. Every few rounds, entire rows slide — physically rearranging the map. Your coastal empire? Landlocked. Their isolated mine? Now on your doorstep.
37 terrain tiles on sliding guide rails. The board physically moves every seismic event, breaking connections and forging new ones.
Bid influence tokens to become the Quake Master. Choose which direction the fault lines shift. Protect yourself or tear apart the leader.
Connect settlements with roads and bridges. Longer networks harvest more. But every connection is a vulnerability when the ground moves.
Every seismic event slides entire rows of hex tiles along the guide rails. Your strategy has to survive the shake.
Each round flows through five phases. On seismic rounds (3, 5, 7, 9) the world breaks apart.
Collect resources from each terrain type your settlements touch. Connected networks of 3+ earn bonus draws.
Spend resources to place settlements, roads, and bridges. Expand your network before the ground moves.
Negotiate freely. Make deals. Break promises. Nothing is binding except the handshake.
Flip the seismic card. Bid influence tokens. The Quake Master chooses direction and order. Slide the rows. Watch roads snap.
Score your largest surviving connected network. Adapt or fall behind.
