Quotes (from this video)
- you may find these tokens in your copy of the game as well the publisher had Extra Space on the punch board to include more tokens so rather than waste it he created these pieces which may serve a purpose in the future but for now you can ignore them
- if an action instructs you to move or swap a tile Druids on those tiles travel with the sights that are being moved
- some sites have italicized keywords and these serve no purpose at this time but expansions to Lagoon will change that

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — Players choose from innate actions (move, summon, explore) or site actions by invoking and exhausting Druids.
- Area Majority — The dominant energy is determined by the number of tiles of each energy type in play at the end of the game.
- Energy management — Players manage access to three energy types (yellow, red, blue) which are required to unravel sites.
- resource collection — Players collect seed tokens that match the symbol of newly explored sites.
- Set Collection — Players collect unraveled sites to add to their personal collection, which can be worth points.
- Tile Placement — Players draw double-sided tiles from a bag and place them adjacent to existing tiles to expand the game area.
