Under your guidance your band of collecters and protectors recover critical survival information that will give you the power to rule the world.However you are not the only ones. Other clans are are also scouring cyberspace to obtain this vital information as well. If you fail to get it before them you and your people are doomed to die.

Players can move in any direction along the vertices of the grid with their character tokens. Players make two moves per turn. The collecter and the proctector are moved in every turn.

Design Comments and Appreciation

We had to go into production before working all of the bugs out of game play. The most significant problem still to be solved is balancing the power between Collectors and Protectors. As it stands, opening game play is fun but too many collectors are wiped out before any significant information is secured as you get to mid-game. I have some ideas for adjustment which I'd like to try just to get a real sense of completion for the game.

I want to say thanks to all my teammates for the hard work of creation, production, and play testing. I also want to thank all the event directors and everyone who joined us for SU game jam 2011. Please invite me again next year.
