## Description
Get ready for a global domination scenario where the Earth you know no longer exists. In Dust, the world has been reshaped by endless wars and technologies that have redrawn political borders. The goal is simple yet brutal: seize total control by dominating power sources, capitals, and strategic areas. You won't just be moving pieces; you'll be managing a complex infrastructure and commanding high-tech armies to crush your opponents. At the start of each turn, the key lies in your strategy: you select a card from your hand that dictates the pace of your actions, allowing for tactical movement management. During the production phase, the game demands smart decisions on where to invest your points to build new factories and units. But don't be fooled; your army composition is vital, as each unit type has unique statistics that can decide the fate of a campaign. Combat is visceral, involving alternating dice rolls until one side retreats or is completely eliminated. Victory doesn't come solely from brute force, but from your ability to accumulate victory points through control of territories, seas, and production centers. If you can hold a capital and reach the required score, the world is yours. But beware: the game allows aggressive attacks on enemy capitals once the war escalates, so keep your eyes open and your armies ready for defense or total assault.
