TURN PHASE 1: Place a land tile

Choose 1 land tile from the land tile row OR from your secret land tiles and add it to your community. On your first turn, you must place it next to your starter land tile.

Land tiles are made of 4 terrain spaces, and might have icons on them.

The tile must align with the full edge of another land tile.

Terrain spaces don’t have to match up, but it’ll help you later if they do.

You may rotate the tile to any orientation. Icons might be upside down—that’s fine!

Energy sources:

Some land tiles have an energy source on them. The only terrain found on these is water.

You may place them like you would any other land tile, and they’re worth points—but only if surrounded by other land tiles (other energy sources count, too) when the game ends.

If there are 2 or more energy sources in the land tile row, you may choose to discard them to the bottom of the land tile stacks and replace them with 2 new land tiles.
