"Each player oversees the building of his city-state. Temple, theater
and oracle, a harbor with ships, vineyard with vintner, and many more
must find space on the islands. Players must move fast to get the best
land for themselves while blocking their opponents from good building
spots. As building is expensive, players seek to save money by using
the natural resources of the islands. Players also seek to organize
their building in an order that gives them the best city-state."
