The Core Framework
Nine dimensions of strategy
Every game in the catalog operates on the same nine-dimensional substrate. In Cascade, three of them break out as pickups — D2 Energy fires a triple spread, D3 Entropy slows time, D4 Void erases the field.
Matter
Position
Place stones. Form groups. Control territory.
Energy
Direction
Stones face a direction. Beams project influence.
Entropy
Chaos
The board fractures. Weather shifts. Adapt or lose.
Void
Annihilation
Erase the ground. Predict where you will dominate.
Automata
Emergence
Cellular patterns evolve. One move triggers cascades.
Cascades
Amplification
Chain reactions compound. A push becomes an avalanche.
Eras
Legacy
Past battles leave scars. Scoring modes cycle.
Mind
Prediction
Read the opponent. The highest play is psychological.
Time
Pressure
The clock is always running. Every second costs you.
