Overview
What ABG knows about this game
Node is a card game in which players take the role of hackers uncovering and tagging a corporate server. Each turn players place cards to build up the game board by overlapping squares of like color. Each card has a grid of 2x3 squares with two of the five colors represented. If a player expands an area of color to be the largest number of squares on the board (of that color), they then claim it with a control marker. Whoever controls the most colors when the last card is played wins – or you can lock out your opponent and immediately win the game by capturing all five colors at once!
