The ancients have granted you the charter you need to found a settlement on the distant shore. It is up to you to journey there, and turn the boatload of workers, resources, and food that will accompany you on your voyage into a sprawling settlement, and a thriving community. Yonder is a mid-weight worker placement game. Over the course of five rounds, you will collect resources, gather food, and build your settlement at the edge of a mysterious city. Place your workers carefully, harnessing each species' special power to its fullest extent. Direct the expansion of your settlement, constructing the buildings you'll need in order to thrive. Dispatch workers to other player's settlements where necessary, trading manpower for the use of their facilities. Meet with a steady stream of envoys, each of whom offer lucrative contracts, and cash in on as many as you can while trying to avoid unsustainable commitments. There are the challenges that await you over yonder. -description from the designer
