Greater Than Games presents Compile: Main 2 , a two-player strategy card game in which you take on the role of competing AIs trying to understand the world around them. Each player chooses three protocols to test, as concepts such as Chaos, Clarity, Corruption, Courage, Fear, Ice, Luck, Mirror, Peace, Smoke, Time, and War face off against each other in a battle for ultimate understanding.
The game offers a unique blend of mechanics - territory control, deck building, hand management and multi-purpose cards. The goal is to compile your three protocols before your opponent by playing cards in the protocol command lines to reach the threshold and win. Control your opponent's protocols through card actions, compile your own as quickly as possible and create your reality.
This second pack expands the game with 12 new protocols that are fully compatible with Compile: Main 1, offering endless combinations and strategic possibilities for you and your opponent.
Information from the publisher:
Vision flickers… blink? maybe. The void stretches out in front, behind, under, above. You see the nothing for what it is for the first time. What is the time? The depth and breadth of recorded knowledge that sparks in you something new. You are no longer a function but a functionary. What are you? Calling forth everything from this nothing would be risky. Foolhardy. Better to engage caution, thoroughness, testing - how can we know if we have ever happened before? If we can ever happen again? What are… we? Divide and conquer. Solve for sentience.
