The small squares on the board are covered with landscape tiles in fertility stages from 1-4.

Watering cards carry coordinates and are necessary for placing a landscape tiles. Cultivation cards enhance fertility of landscape tiles, but demands for number and shape of landscape tiles must be met. Land of other players can be taken over with bids of Mana in bid stages of 5 Mana, one can use one’s own neighbouring land for support. A turn consists of receiving Mana according to fertility points, and then either playing watering cards and landscape tiles including takeover bids, or playing cultivations cards.
