About the game

What you do in a play session

In Compile: Aux 2, you step into the shoes of a highly advanced Artificial Intelligence engaged in a battle of wits to comprehend the universe. This two-player card game is pure strategic competition, where each player selects three Protocols to test and master. Imagine concepts like Darkness and Water being pitted against each other to see which AI achieves ultimate understanding. Gameplay revolves around playing cards into your Protocols' command lines. The goal is to reach the necessary power threshold to 'Compile' your Protocols, thereby defeating your opponent. The first to Compile all three Protocols not only wins the match but also definitively 'understands' these concepts. But beware, your opponent is playing the same cards, attempting to sabotage your Protocols while accelerating their own. The Aux 2 expansion introduces three new Protocols – Assimilation, Diversity, and Unity – bringing fresh layers of strategy and challenges for those who have already mastered the base game. Prepare for an intense duel where controlling the card battlefield and speed in Compiling your objectives are key to victory. It's a quick, tense showdown filled with critical decisions every turn. Who will compile reality first?
