About The Coil
In The Coil, you will lead a nation of uniquely twisted creatures while striving to expand your boundaries, claim valuable resources, and complete secret objectives. The game is played in rounds. Each round has 5 phases: Expansion, Muster, Escalation (recruit, Scout, Strategize), Battle, and Conquest. After the fourth round, all players choose the strategy card they wish to score with. Each player will score up to two victory points for each of eight categories. The player with the most points wins. —description from the publisher
