Field notes

READY TO RECORD
  1. Your expedition will be recorded here, one decision at a time.
READ THE TERRAIN

Information has a cost.

Scout to reveal rivals and supplies. Rest to recover energy. Neither stops the map from closing in.

KEEP THE EVIDENCE

Replay your reasoning.

Every seed can be revisited. Export the accepted actions and complete turn history to compare decisions.

A field guide to surviving.

You face three simulated rivals on a 9 × 9 map. The last survivor wins. No wagers or rewards.

Move
One orthogonal open tile costs 1 energy. Rock and board edges block movement. Invalid actions spend nothing and do not advance time.
Scout / Rest
Scout reveals the entire map for 3 turns, costing 1 energy with Survey or 2 with other kits. Rest restores up to 3 energy. Nearby tiles within two steps are always visible.
Supplies / Encounters
A supply is consumed on entry: up to +3 energy and +1 health. Rivals can collect supplies too. Moving into an occupied tile deals 2 health damage to both units; both stay in place, including when one is eliminated.
The closing field
Safe area: 9 × 9 → 7 × 7 → 5 × 5 → 3 × 3 → 1 × 1 on turns 3, 6, 9 and 12. After rivals act, everyone outside loses 2 health.
Turn order / Finish
Your action, then living rivals R1–R3 in order, then zone damage and outcome. Rivals choose seeded moves toward safety, supplies and nearby players. If all die, it is a draw. At turn 18, health decides, then energy; a tied top score draws.
Replay / Storage
Results expose the full map. Same seed, kit, starting tile and actions give the same result. The latest expedition saves locally; browser storage can be cleared. Export JSON to keep a copy.
