Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- card-driven effects with asset cards — asset cards grant immediate attribute boosts and ongoing bonuses; some decks interact with slavery mechanics and regional scoring
- multi-phase round structure — seven rounds with construction, growth, salary, action, and discard phases, including optional phase-combining for experienced players
- region unlocking via shipping and presence — ship and occupy actions unlock new regions by accumulating presence and placing disks on ships, fleets, and cities
- tile placement / building construction — construct buildings on personal boards with level constraints tied to industry attribute, affecting future actions and victory points
- Worker placement / action selection — players place population disks on board actions or spend blue action tokens to execute actions, enabling resource generation and region development
