How to play

1. Each player leads a folk with a home soil. The game lasts 6 years. You start with 20 points.
2. At dawn, every player gains income. Then players take turns until all pass.
3. On your turn, do one main action. You can reshape a hex and build, upgrade a building, send a warden, use a grove spot or pass.
4. When you build, nearby rivals may draw sap. Four linked buildings with a total strength of 7 or more found a hamlet.
5. Move up the four season tracks to earn rewards. At dusk, the aim of the year pays out.
6. After year 6, you score your largest group of buildings, the season tracks and your leftovers. The most points wins.
