A nice puzzle game to play every now-and then.

The store page explains it quite well. You try to place down randomly-generated hexagonal tiles so that their borders match neighbouring tiles. For example a tile might have trees on three sides, houses on one side, and farm fields on two, and you'd want to place it so that the edges with trees are placed against the side of another placed tile that also has trees, while the side with houses is against the side of another tile with houses, etc.

Railways and rivers are a bit different as they have to be connected so that one railway track/river goes into another without ending at the edge of a tile.

You only have a limited number of tiles, but you can get more with "quests". A quest can be generated by a tile when you place it, or by special tiles that appear on the map, with the quest activating when you reach the tile. A quest is visible as a little speech bubble above a tile with a number indicating that you will be rewarded with more tiles if you connect that number of a specific feature to that tile. For example, it might say to connect 20 houses to that tile. Most tiles have multiple houses on them, so you won't need to connect 20 tiles with houses, but the connection needs to be continuous, with no other features like fields or water separating some houses from others, even on single tiles. It is the same with trees, water, etc.

You earn points every time the side of one tile is matched with a side of another with the same feature. You also earn an extra tile every time you get a perfect placement (a tile with all its sides matching the features on neighbouring tiles). Once you run out of tiles it's game over and you get your score.

There are at least a few different modes to play around with:
- classic (normal gameplay)
- quick play (awards fewer tiles so games don't last as long)
- hard mode (tiles have more difficult/varied feature combinations)
- creative mode (unlimited tiles and can place any you want)
- custom mode (allows you to specify some parameters like how often features appear on tiles, add a time limit, etc)
- monthly challenge (everyone is provided with an identical seed and a limited area to place tiles, you can look at leaderboards to see how your results compare to others)


Overall it is a recommend from me. Price is a little steep for a simple puzzle game but not too bad.
6/10
