Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action economy — On your turn you can either take tiles or purchase patterns; players continue taking actions until all must pass.
- One-time bonus cards — Certain events grant one-time abilities each round, often enabling swaps or extra actions.
- pattern cards — Complete pattern cards using acquired materials to gain points and progress toward higher-level artisans.
- Renown track / endgame trigger — Renown increases as you acquire artisans; the game ends when a player reaches 20 renown, finishing the round and scoring.
- Resource distribution and board efficiency — Tiles are colored to indicate availability by round and player count; managing tile acquisition is key.
- tile drafting — Take tiles from the center, rotate, and refill the board; end-of-round tile depletion grants a bonus card.
- worker placement — Advance artisans from apprentice to journeyman to master, with higher-level artisans providing more benefits.
- Worker progression — Advance artisans from apprentice to journeyman to master, with higher-level artisans providing more benefits.
