Players share a pool of mechanical worker-robots that move around a rondel-style board to collect engrams and electricity. Collected resources convert into ideas that unlock upgrades and items used to score points at game end. Players also build interconnected pipe networks and gather birds and butterflies on the board to create scoring combos. The game ends when idea cards or pipes run out, or when a player completes their robots, then each other player takes one final turn. Turns focus on choosing which robot to use, managing shared worker access, and sequencing upgrades and pipe construction to maximize end-game scoring.

from 6 Ludoya reviews
A little too clunky with a muddy board makes for an okay experience. There is some fun in the game but it breaks your ability to have a strategy.
