Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- area majority — Districts are formed by connected tiles of paired types. Players score based on having the largest and second largest district of each type, with specific rules for ties and cities scoring multiple places.
- drafting — In rounds 1 and 3, players draw nine tiles instead of seven, resulting in an extra turn and larger cities.
- set collection — Civic buildings score based on adjacent positive and negative building types, with different point values for adjacency to one positive, two positive, or no positive/negative types. Civic buildings do not count as an additional tile type when scoring houses.
- tile placement — Players place tiles into a 5x5 grid, fitting around landscape mats which contain unusable art spaces and empty spaces for tiles.
