About this game
Place colored trade ships along waterways to claim building sites in the legendary kingdom of Yamatai. The action-drafting system presents numbered tiles each round, and choosing early gives you first pick but fewer ships, while waiting grants more resources at the cost of prime building spots. Specialists provide powerful ongoing abilities, and the network of ships creates cascading opportunities. A beautiful production from the designers of Five Tribes with satisfying spatial trade-route puzzles.
