Players receive base parts that interlock with each other a la Tetris; when placed, the empty shells are worked on by boxy minions. When not building, minions deal with food service, researching monoliths, and defense, assignable by the player.
The player gets a countdown timer for enemy attacks, so they must adjust their minion tasks on the fly as needs warrant.
