Description
In a post-apocalyptic world, the tribes of the wind are going to rebuild the world on the polluted ruins from the past.
Players will have to plant forests, build new villages and temples, and decontaminate surrounding areas.
They will be able to play cards from their hand. But be careful! The effect or even the possibility of playing the card may vary depending on... the back of your surrounding opponents' cards.
Players may also send their wind riders to explore the area, plant forests, or build villages and temples using all the gathered resources.
As the game progresses, you strive to complete objectives that will allow you to unlock your guide's special abilities, and to improve your tribe's powers.
When someone builds their 5th village, the end of the game is triggered. The player with the most points, depending on pollution, villages, temples, layout of their forests, and other various objectives, wins!

Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- Deep, puzzly weight with high strategic density
- Asymmetric abilities add depth and variety
- Satisfying end-game scoring with multiple paths to victory
Cons
- Can feel heavy or slow for newcomers
- Longer playtime; better with experienced players

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- asymmetric player boards and guide cards — Each player has a unique guide card granting a strong, theme-fitting ability; these drive diverse strategies and replayability.
- deck of elements with hidden information — Each card shows an element on one side and an action on the other; players position their cards on a personal stand to influence others' decisions.
- element-based actions and neighbor interaction — Actions depend on the elemental balance of your hand and the elements held by your left and right neighbors, incentivizing awareness and timing.
- pollution management and scoring — Clearing pollution and achieving forest/village configurations provide end-game scoring, reinforcing durable strategy layers.
- tile placement to build forests and villages — Players place forest tiles that offer bonuses, then convert them to villages, guided by temple and village placement goals.
