Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area Majority — Placing colored bases and building attractions in pie-themed sectors on the main game board.
- Goal Fulfillment — Fulfilling private goals for end-game scoring.
- Set Collection — Building tiered attractions of the same color may reduce costs for higher tiers.
- Time Track — A special time track mechanism where the player furthest back takes the current turn. Actions accrue time on this track, which is also the victory point track.
- Worker Placement — Players manage workers to take actions, and the last player to place a worker in a section triggers a reset.
