Tatsumi Review

About Tatsumi, from BoardGameGeek:

In Tatsumi, the island celebrates you as their guardian dragon, their Tatsu. Your calling is to restore the elements on your island and renew good fortune for your people. Drafting resources, collecting sets, and scoring bonuses in Tatsumi relies on the position of your dragon avatar on the seaboard, creating a more immersive and believable abstract strategy experience. The seaboard randomizes and stages the entire game's resources into a 3-dimensional central board so you can strategically look ahead planning when to collect and when to score. The tile-placement in Tatsumi has a puzzly yet satisfying feel through a clever combination of engine-building, instant scoring, and elemental inspired end game tile-placement bonuses for you to maximize. Each player may play with a symmetric setup for learning or competition, or a fully asymmetric island and dragon combination for tons of replayability. Fans of games like Azul, Harmonies, and Splendor will appreciate the intuitive gameplay, elevated componentry, and additional features specifically developed to extend beyond gateway games in this genre for gamers that enjoy solo-play, symmetric and asymmetric combinations, and a multigame feel packed into a single box. -description from the publisher
