Capstone Game Terra Mystica Strategy Board Game is a strategy game with a simple game principle and very little luck involved. You govern one of 14 factions trying to transform the landscape on the game board in your favor to build your structures. On the one hand, proximity to other players limits your options for further expansion, on the other hand though, it provides some benefits during the game. This conflict is the source of Terra Mystica's appeal. In the land of Terra Mystica dwell 14 different peoples in 7 landscapes, and each group is bound to its home environment, so to develop and grow, they must terraform neighboring landscapes into their home environments in competition with the other groups. The 14 artfully designed factions, each having unique special abilities, as well as the exchangeable bonus cards allow for a large number of possible game plays that constantly keep this game entertaining. Taking turns, the players execute their actions on the resources they have at their disposal. Different buildings allow players to develop different resources. Dwellings allow for more workers. Trading houses allow players to make money. Strongholds unlock a group's special ability, and temples allow you to develop religion and your terraforming and seafaring skills. Buildings can be upgraded: Dwellings can be developed into trading houses; trading houses can be developed into strongholds or temples; one temple can be upgraded to become a sanctuary. Each group must also develop its terraforming skill and its skill with boats to use the rivers. The groups in question, along with their home landscape, are: Desert (Fakirs, Nomads), Plains (Halflings, Cultists), Swamp (Alchemists, Darklings), Lake (Mermaids, Swarmlings), Forest (Witches, Auren), Mountain (Dwarves, Engineers), Wasteland (Giants, Chaos Magicians)
