How It Plays
Area Majority / Influence
You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.
Map Addition
New areas get added to the map as you play — the world literally grows as the game goes on.
Pattern Recognition
Spotting patterns quickly gives you an edge — the faster you see it, the faster you score!
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.

Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of his meeples on one of the areas on it: on the city as a knight, on the road as a robber, on a cloister as a monk, or on the grass as a farmer.…
