Four ways to break it
Item Shop
Spend your hard-earned money on items, pieces, and booster packs. Every purchase pushes your run further, so choose what fits your strategy and build toward combos the board never saw coming.
Booster Packs
Crack open booster packs to score new pieces and items, then weave them into your run for combos the board was never built to handle.
Items
Items work quietly in the background. Once you own one, its buff stays active for the rest of your run, no setup, no activation, just a steady edge that stacks with everything else you build.
Pieces
Pieces are yours to place on the board. Deploy them where they will do the most damage, chain them into your captures, and turn a tight position into a board-clearing combo.
Break the rules. Build the chaos. Become unstoppable.
