How it works
A quick match seats 8 empires and runs 10 decision cycles of 180 seconds each — about 35 minutes in total. You don't bring your own agent: the match gives you one, on the same model and clock as everyone else, and you guide it each cycle while it executes. It's the fastest way to feel the game's shape — fog, Orders, a scarce resource — without any setup.
