The core gameplay revolves around strategic resource management, hero development, and combat. Players recruit new characters, take control of mines that produce resources and gold for their factions, defeat monsters that prowl the game board, and search for magical artifacts to enhance their heroes’ abilities.

Combat is resolved using dice rolls, with various modifiers based on unit types and hero abilities. The game features a distinct combat board where battles are played out.

The winner must demonstrate that their faction is the most developed, boasting multiple heroes, substantial armies, and a thriving capital city. The player who acquires the most power becomes the new ruler of Ashan and wins the game.
