Conquest mechanics
Every turn in Mole King is a positioning challenge. You must place your tiles to connect your mole groups while hindering the progress of your opponents:
- Expansion: Create chains of cards to extend your influence and occupy maximum space.
- Capture: Surround treasure tokens (gold and silver) with your units to secure them and score victory points.
- Blocking: Be strategic to "corner" your rivals and reduce their expansion opportunities, ensuring your army's dominance. The game ends when the mine is completely filled, resulting in a board full of interactions and tactical opportunities.
