How to play

At the start all territories are shared out, each colour belongs to one player. Every turn has three steps:

• Reinforce: 2 units plus 1 per 4 territories, plus the bonus of every complete song world.
• Attack: from a territory with at least 2 units to a neighbour – over land or sea route. Up to 3 dice attack, up to 2 defend; the highest are compared, ties go to the defender.
• Fortify: move units between connected territories of your own – as often as you like; units you moved into a territory this turn stay there. With “Once per turn” (more settings) the classic rule applies.

The winner holds four of the six song worlds completely – otherwise, after 12 rounds, whoever owns the most territories.

Secret missions (switch at the start): everyone secretly gets their own mission – for example conquer certain song worlds, knock out a player or go on a world tour. Complete yours on your turn and you win at once; after 15 rounds, whoever is closest wins. The goals are tuned for each player count so every mission wins about equally often.

Song stones (optional): conquer at least one territory on your turn and you get a stone at the end of it, showing a song from the map and a symbol – sound wave, orb or pulse star; there are also two jokers. Trade 3 matching or 3 different symbols for units at the start of your turn. The value rises with every trade in the game (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, then +5) up to the maximum – or it is fixed (wave 4, orb 6, star 8, one of each 10). With 5 stones you must trade.

Big sets (optional): instead of 3 stones you may trade 4 or 5 – all matching or all three symbols included (the joker fills in). 4 stones give 1.5×, 5 stones double (fixed: 14 and 18), and it counts as just one trade. Waiting can pay off – but if you are knocked out holding many stones, you hand them over.

The six song worlds

Every territory is named after an X-Perience song. Holding a whole song world earns extra units every turn:

• Magic Fields · 7 · +3 – Reroll 1 attack die
• Island of Dreams · 5 · +2 – 1 extra sea jump when fortifying
• Return to Paradise · 6 · +2 – Relocate 1 unit anywhere
• Miami Dark · 5 · +2 – +1 to the highest die on the first attack
• Journey of Life · 10 · +4 – 1 extra fortify move
• Rise Again · 6 · +2 – +1 unit when reinforcing

The abilities apply in X-P Strategy mode – once per turn, from your next turn after the conquest.
