With simple rules that can be explained quickly, SILOS is easy to learn, but don't be fooled - it's a game that requires clever tactics and strategic thinking to outmaneuver your opponents. As you navigate the modular board, you'll encounter various locations, each with its own unique powers and abilities. Your goal is to collect a complete set of humans, including politicians, government operators, influencers, and professionals, which will earn you a societal power emblem.
