Chaos Fields & Cards
Marked positions on the board trigger chaos cards when landed on. Each card has a unique effect:
Reverse
All enemies move backwards on their next turn.
Blockade
Place an obstacle on any track position for 5 player turns.
Double Down
Next roll is doubled! But roll a 1 and skip your turn.
Swap
Swap positions with any enemy token on the track.
Capture & Bonus Turns
- ›Land on an opponent's token to send it back home.
- ›Capturing earns you a bonus extra turn — roll again!
- ›There are no safe tiles — only a shield can block a capture.
- ›Earth's first token out each game deploys with a shield — the first hit breaks it instead of sending the token home.
- ›Nature draws a chaos card when captured and, once per game, respawns instead of going home — think twice before attacking.
Elemental Passives
Each element has a unique always-active ability. Choose wisely before the game starts.
