- card drafting — Players draft cards with their opponent each turn, choosing one to place and giving the other to their opponent.
- Double-sided cards — Cards are double-sided, featuring a scoring parameter and landscape on one side, and just landscape on the other, requiring a choice of how to play them.
- set collection — Players try to make the map and score points based on different terrains and features.
- tile laying — The game is essentially a tile-laying game where players overlap cards to make a map.
