- 3 players - Death Circle Game with secret objectives.
- 4 players - Semi Cooperation Game and Secret Objectives Game.

Each of the 5 aymmetrical blocs has its own strengths and weaknesses, through its own Technological tree, Mission and Objective cards, and even scalable pool of Units. Each player has Mission cards in their hands, and will gain rewards upon fulfilling each of them, bringing them closer to victory.
