2 to 6 players, about 20 minutes
Earthquake
Draft the land, then let it shift. Draft patches of fields, clay, ocean and wheat onto your board, then ride out the quake: five minutes of sliding to grow your two biggest terrains.
How it works
Four terrains, one board, one shake
- 1
Draft
Tiles lie in a line with a pawn. Take one of the three tiles in front of it, rotate it any way you like, and place it on your 4x4 board. Everyone sees everyone.
- 2
Shift
When the pool is empty, the earthquake starts: 5 minutes to slide tiles into the one empty slot. No rotating, no talking, and only you see your board.

Score
For each terrain, your largest connected area counts. Your score is your two best terrains added together. The highest wins.
