I C E: Relics

Players collect and place a new, smaller diamond-shaped tile type that combines into full hexagonal images when completed. Assembling one or more relics unlocks an alternate scoring track and grants powerful abilities tied to how many copies of each relic a player completes. Relic pieces can be swapped among players until a relic has two of its three pieces collected, at which point that relic locks and can no longer be traded. Different factions interact with relics in unique ways: one faction gains special effects from completed relics, while another can seize opponents’ leaders and use them as its own.
