The central mechanic

In Fogpiercer, your train is the deck

The locomotive, driver, and carriages you select establish the tools available at the start of a run. New carriages add tactical options; losing or replacing parts can change what remains in the deck.

01

Read intent first. Enemy plans are information. Solve the most dangerous future position before chasing raw damage.

02

Move the problem. Push enemies into cliffs, one another, incoming attacks, or the path of the locomotive.

03

Order creates value. Coal, artillery, hacking, shields, and movement become stronger when sequenced around a clear end state.
