Squares
The game board is partitioned into squares of equal size. A
square is a valid spell target.
Sanctum's user interface shows a quasi-3D isometric view
of the board. From this perspective, each “square” actually looks
like a slightly flattened diamond. Nonetheless, we call them squares.

The Game Board
- Square grid. The game board consists of squares.
- 12x12. There are 94 playable squares within a 12 x 12 square grid.
- The other 50 squares are “off the map” in the 4 corners.
They are ignored for all game purposes.
- Orthogonal. Every square is orthogonally adjacent to 4 other squares
(along a common edge).
- Diagonal. Every square is diagonally adjacent to 4 other squares
(at a common corner).
Square Stacking Limits.
Each square may contain any combination of the following entities.

A structure is a Sanctum, town, or colony.

said to be empty.

- A square may have 1 group.
- A square normally can't have 2 or more groups.
- Overstack. Exception: A square may
have 2 or more groups temporarily during spell

execution. This is called an overstack.
Overstacks are always resolved automatically as part of the spell
or movement execution.
