TERRANOVA How to Play

About Live 2 G(a/e)ther in Terra Nova, from BoardGameGeek:

Welcome to the Thibion System, master. I am your host and servant P.E.O.R.S the Proto Earth Overseeing Robotic System, hopefully your travel from Earth has been pleasant and the cryogenic sleep has not been too harsh on you - after all, you will be going into cryogenic sleep a lot during your millenia shift. My first task is explaining to you [what you already know] that you are the next Master Builder in our non stop efforts to create the new, and well balanced, Earth here in Thibion. The infrastructure for your work has been already built here in Thibian Serenus Plains. As you can see, all the pipelines for the basic resources have been laid out and are fully operational. For the next 2,000 years – or more - You will work through me in stints of 200 years to build Earthly features here in Thibion by using the pre-fabricated modules that have since arrived from Earth. I will take your instructions of where to place and develop the new modules and any technological adjustments that you may believe are necessary and execute them while you are back to cryogenic sleep. The modules arriving from Earth will be of five different types: Plants, Animals, Water, Land and Technology, each in varying sizes. Once your shift is completed, the Galactic Eye will assess your performance. Live 2 G(a/e)ther in Terra Nova is a light, easy to learn solitaire tile-laying / spatial-puzzle game in which you are trying to create a new world ensuring the right balance between each of the 5 elements for each planetary zone. Make sure you spread the animals, plants, water and land evenly, and that your technology advances but doesn´t get in the way. The game was created as an entry to the 2023 Solitaire Print and Play Contest here in BoardGameGeek. -description from the designer
