I came up with this fold-up box design so that it looks neat and compact so basically WAR: roll a dice and pick the deck accordingly to the number you rolled PURCHASE TROOPS: have a full set of one section of land to get troops LAND: a main deck where several cards are randomly given to every player for their starting land. STATUS: basically a random pick in your turn to see if your country has anything happen to it. INSTRUCTIONS: to start the game you open up the box and place the cards in their respective section, then decides who goes first. once it is decided, everyone gets 30 troops tokens, 7 random land cards and a secret mission card , then have to decide where to distribute their troops. Each person can only have 5 troops at one place. Once everyone has finished distributing, the game starts. ON YOUR TURN: choose which place of land to attack. Then, have the defending country move to the ‘WAR’ section and roll a die. The more troops you have at the border, the better chances you have. 3 troops: roll dice again ONCE. 5 troops: +1 to the current number you have. If you win, draw a card from the LAND deck. If you get a stalemate, draw a card from the STATUS deck. if you have a full set of states, you may purchase 10 troops per set and discard that set in the LAND deck. You may move your troops, but if you do so, your turn is over. Each turn only restricts you to 3 WARs. WINNING: whoever completes their secret mission first wins.
also the 4 little boxes on the map is card storage and to close the board I feel like placing magnets on the inside and little Velcro latches on the outside would work
