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!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Drafting and row dynamics — Players draft cards from a shared row; you can see the backs of neighbors' cards but not their fronts, creating hidden information strategy and interaction.
- End-game and scoring structure — Game ends when one player completes all five villages; scoring combines cards, shrine/tower bonuses, forest population, and pollution control.
- Front/Back card duality and visibility — There are four card types with backs indicating action types; players see the backs of opponents' cards, while fronts are private.
- Pollution management — Red cards primarily deal with pollution; clearing pollution is a prerequisite for taking other actions.
- tile placement — Blue/green/yellow/red cards dictate costs (water, pollution) and adjacency rules for placing tiles and building villages.
- tile placement and resource management — Blue/green/yellow/red cards dictate costs (water, pollution) and adjacency rules for placing tiles and building villages.
- Village and shrine/tower actions — Building villages provides left/right side bonuses and triggers special abilities or scoring opportunities; shrines provide alternative, powerful actions.
- Wind Riders (tokens) and movement — Wind Riders populate villages and move around the board to unlock further actions and building opportunities.

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.
