❤ Innovative Wiener Resource Management

A distinguishing feature is the "wiener" resource management system, which requires players to carefully balance the consumption of these limited resources to sustain their gnome squad during missions and battles. Reviewers highlight this mechanic as an intriguing new twist on the deck-building formula, adding an additional layer of strategic planning and risk/reward decision-making.

❤ Engaging Tactical Battles

The combat is described as engaging and tactical, requiring players to consider the positioning and abilities of both their own gnomes and the enemy forces.
