Thirteen colonies are chained to the Crown by supply lines. Cut the lines, break the dependency, and lock in each free state before the Crown re-garrisons. Independence isn't a symbol here — it's the win condition. · Week 2 · Independence Engines

★ The board: the gold Crown rules 13 red colonies through supply lines. ★ Cut a line (click it) to sever it — each cut costs 1 Powder. ★ Cut every link back to the Crown and a colony goes free (blue). One good cut can free a whole chain at once. ★ Lock it in: a free colony with 2+ free neighbors (or one already-secured neighbor) becomes secured (gold). Secured states are permanent — and they wall the Crown out for good. ★ The Crown re-garrisons: any cut line that isn't held by a secured colony grows back in a few seconds (watch it refill). If it reconnects an un-secured colony, the Crown retakes it. So finish a region and secure it before the line heals. ★ The engine: every secured state resupplies you — Powder regenerates faster the more you've locked in. ★ Win: make all 13 colonies independent (secured) before time runs out.
