Hey Erik, yeah more or less – I would suggest it’s area control with a strong deckbuilding element at its heart. The points aspect is very much a consequence of either control or deckbuilding, but the game does a good job of “forcing” the players to interact with each other on the board, because otherwise runaway leaders will emerge. This means you can’t just focus on the deckbuilding part alone.

Have you tried Dune: Imperium by any chance?
