First, decide who will play with which color.
Then one player separates the Landscape tiles in their color from their Task tiles and shuffles each pile unseen. Then they build two face-down stacks in front of themselves.
Next, have this player return 3 Landscape tiles to the box unseen.
In addition, this player shuffles their 24 Task markers (except for the Double Task markers) and places them face-down, preferably sorted by Task type. Then they add the 3 Double Task markers back in.
The other player organizes all their Landscape and Task tiles face-up in front of themselves, so all tiles are clearly visible to both players. For efficiency, it can be helpful to sort the tiles either by Task type or according to the prevailing Landscape on them.
Finally, have this second player set their 27 Task markers, face-up and sorted by Task type, next to the Task tiles.
Both players should ensure they have enough space to play their tiles.
Set the score pad aside as it will not be needed until the end of the game.
Leave the contents of both Modules in the box for your first game.
