This is a very elegant abstract game where your aim is to be the first person to have placed all of two of your three types of buildings. Each building type has it's own placement rules, and through play, the central board becomes an interesting topography of overlapped tiles. It's easy to set opponents up for the moves they need, yet you need to be vigilant and stop them from pulling off their own killer moves. It has a fantastic push pull and once you get used to the shapes of the tiles, you can open up situations for very clever plays. Always a delight.
