Map of a fictional world called Tectonia, inspired by past configurations of Earth's continents. Projection is based on an equal-area conic projection centered on the north pole. The projection maintains the area and shape of the continents as found on a 3D globe with minimal disruption to the distances and distortion at the extremes. The teleport tiles at the top help represent world wrapping on the 2D plane.

Objective:
Capture the most land mass before the timer expires, or, eliminate the competition!
In the non-play area (pipes), each player has an FTA counter and a tech-tree

FTA:
Each player gets to launch a beginning infantry via blackboat in the turn sequence, with player 8 getting two infantry.
On each subsequent turn, the player in the reverse order will get an infantry as long as they move their infantry upwards on the FTA path in the bottom right.
P1 > P2 > P3 > P4 > P5 > P6 > P7 > P8 x2 > P7 > P6 > P5 > P4 > P3 > P3 > P1

A. Lab for tech units OR
B. 2 comm towers OR
