Gameplay

This Mancala-inspired tableau builder plays like a tight puzzle. Each turn you choose a harbor space, generate resources based on ships there, then sow those ships Mancala-style to trigger the landing action. Time your rondel to builds and upgrade ships, construct port buildings, and fulfills contracts for income and end-game scoring.
