Thematic elements

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area Majority — The stronger actions that aren't necessarily tied to getting resources will actually come with an area majority thing going on. So if you have the most of a particular color you will score endgame points.
- Card Drafting/Fulfillment — You are placing your workers to not only collect the resources but when you go to a worker placement spot that is going to somewhat populate one of these cards and if a card has all of the worker placement spots filled with workers, whether that be yourself or other players as long as you are on that card you will score points based on certain resources that you've collected.
- resource collection — You are collecting resources of these different kind of element types.
- Worker Placement — It's a worker placement game where you are placing your workers to not only collect the resources but when you go to a worker placement spot that is going to somewhat populate one of these cards.

Quotes (from this video)
- this you know the more I was playing this game the more of the the cleverness started to come to the forefront and I was enjoying it more and more
- The forward momentum in this game is terrific never feels like there's any real downtime very Punchy
- it still feels like it extremely satisfying for a 30-minute game
- it is pretty much a full-blown Euro some lots of clever things going on but still so succinct and it almost fits that filler bracket which is very impressive
- if anything this game could fall a bit short because it is so generic looking you know the name isn't exactly inspiring there's no theme here it's very abstracted it looks pretty bland
- right now I'm massively impressed me it's going to be a contender for surprise of the year
