Reviewer Notes:

Conquering the world will likely take you more than an hour, and the end game will get tedious. Don't feel compelled to see it to victory (also, I forgot to actually test the victory screen during the compo, so it's really ugly). If you really want to play a digital board game for an hour, try the post-compo version instead - it adds a lot to the game.

To be clear, this is not based on a pre-existing board game. The art and game design was all created solo during the Compo.
