Gameplay

Velune takes the elegant simplicity of Onitama and evolves it for the hex grid. Each match is a battle of wits where positioning and timing matter more than luck.

Core Mechanics

  • Dynamic Movement Cards: Each player has access to a rotating set of movement cards that determine how pieces can move on the hex grid.
  • Tactical Depth: Every move changes the board state and your available options, creating emergent strategic complexity.
  • Perfect Information: No hidden mechanics or RNG - pure skill-based competition.
