Popnova: Chain Reaction

Popnova: Chain Reaction is a fast-paced strategy board game where a single orb can set off an unstoppable chain reaction across the grid. Play offline with 2-6 players in local multiplayer, or take on a smart AI opponent solo — no wifi needed.

HOW TO PLAY
Take turns placing orbs in grid cells. Each cell has a critical mass — 2 orbs in a corner, 3 on an edge, 4 in the centre. Once a cell hits its limit it explodes, sending orbs into neighbouring cells and capturing them for your colour. One explosion can set off a chain that sweeps the entire board and wipes out your opponents in a single turn. Last player with orbs on the board wins. Easy to learn, endlessly deep to master.
