Strange World Above the Clouds
Players build a 16-card tableau representing a strange world populated by puzzling creatures and lands. Each turn, draft three cards and play them one by one into a personal play area, placing each card orthogonally adjacent to an existing card. Certain land types impose placement restrictions; if a restriction is violated the card is placed face-down as a Tzimime and scores no Stars. Other lands trigger binding effects or grant horizontal/vertical scoring when properly placed. Drafting is tight and opponents can force difficult choices, so players optimize placement and manage mistakes to collect the most Stars while avoiding Tzimimes.
