Rival tribes shape a volcanic island to establish sacred settlements before their opponents.

Gameplay

Each turn you place a tri-hex volcano tile, either expanding the island or stacking on matching volcanoes to raise levels, then build huts, temples, or towers. Spatial tactics hinge on settlement expansion by terrain, overbuilding to split growth, and dual victory conditions.
