Vibe's take

Meaty and interlocking, since multiple players often benefit when a terrain gets surrounded, you're constantly reading the board for who profits most from each tile you place.

About this game

Pandoria has five uprooted fantasy peoples, Elves, Mages, Dwarves, Halflings, and Humans, rebuilding civilization on unclaimed land, placing tiles to reveal terrain and workers to claim its resources before old rivalries flare up again.
