), and has the Tetris-like polyomino tiles that have been so in vogue the last few years in board games. Each player starts with a set of 24 of those tiles in eight shapes, three of each, in differing colors; and with a square board with gridlines on it, with a river splitting the grid in two. The remaining squares all show open fields, trees, forests, or rocks. There’s a common deck of 24 cards showing those tile shapes and colors that all players have.
In the first game, the simplest of all, players will cycle through that deck, and when each card is revealed, all players will simultaneously place that tile from their supply onto their boards. You can place those tiles on any open fields, trees, or rocks, but not on the forests on the left and right edges of your board, and not across the river.
The scoring in the first game is simple enough—you gain two points for every square with trees still visible, lose two points for every square with rocks still visible, and lose one point for every square of open field still visible. The player with the most points gets to color in two progress squares on their board; the winner of the entire campaign is the player with the most total progress squares colored in.
The second game—these aren’t spoilers, since you see the rules for games one through three when you open the first envelope—adds a scoring twist based on the colors of the buildings. You get additional points for the largest contiguous cluster of buildings of any single color on your board, one point per building in the group. The third game gives each player a sticker showing a well, and you can score four additional points if you surround it on all four sides with different buildings .
