How to use

Shuffle the landscape tiles and place them face down. Each player on their turn draws a tile and places it adjacent to existing tiles, matching edges where applicable. After placing a tile, the player may place a marker on a road or field segment according to the simplified rules, then resolve scoring when features are completed or at defined moments in the game. Continue turns until tiles are exhausted or the end condition is met; tally points to determine the winner. The rulebook provides step-by-step examples and illustrated guidance to help children learn the mechanics.

Usage recommendations

Play on a flat, stable surface and keep tiles organized in a central stack. For younger children, play cooperatively or with fewer tiles to shorten rounds. Use the illustrated rule examples during the first plays and allow supervised turns until players are comfortable with placement and basic scoring.
