How to play Hyperborea

Hyperborea has players move across a modular hex map, explore new areas, and compete for control while building up a personal pool of colored cubes that determines available actions. It feels like a medium-weight strategy game with direct conflict and shifting priorities, and it suits groups of 2 to 6 who enjoy planning combinations while expanding across a changing board.
