From BoardGameGeek

After the Great Disasters, a new chapter in Sylvan Dale's history has begun. The Elders have called on you and your fellow architects to design a new woodland realm - a haven perched in the high embrace of the Great Trees. Guide the builders of Sylvan Dale as they construct dwellings, bridges, and hanging courtyards. Builders of Sylvan Dale is a unique three-dimensional tile placement game in which you play a card and place a new building tile on top of the ever-taller trees in the forest, collecting sets of cards to gain special actions. Get your buildings to stand out high on the trees above those of your peers, and brighten the forest with your colors. -description from the publisher
