Cons
none
Thematic elements
Comparison games
- Carcassonne
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- board shifting — After placing a tile, the board shifts and roads move while cities wander to new positions.
- End Game Bonuses — When all the main tiles have been placed, the game ends and you score points for every tile and token in your play area.
- End-game scoring — When all the main tiles have been placed, the game ends and you score points for every tile and token in your play area.
- meeple movement along roads — After shifting, you move your meeple along the road as far as you like.
- multi-issue draw — Every tile you draw creates multiple problems at once: how the maze shifts, where the pushed-out tile fits, and whether it helps you reach your next symbol or affects other players.
- symbol matching and tile placement — If you reach the symbol on the board that matches the top tile on your special stack, you may place that tile and flip over the next one.
- tile-drafting and row/maze insertion — On your turn you draw a tile and insert it into one of the rows of the maze, causing the board to shift.
- Tile/Map Shifting — On your turn you draw a tile and insert it into one of the rows of the maze, causing the board to shift.
- token scoring on completed features — In your play area, finishing a road or city adds tokens to cover the icons along those roads and in those cities.
