Collect bird cards and place them in your forest, wheat fields and wetlands. Roll dice to get mice, worms, fish, berries and wheat to feed them. Lay eggs. Go hunting.
Use lots of different coloured dice to fill in a stained-glass window without having two of the same colour or value next to each other. Pretty.
Push your luck. Turn over cards until you see something you want to claim or buy, or until you have two ships of the same colour and ignominiously go bust.
Colourful tiles! Addictive mechanics! Really annoying when the other player takes the tiles you had your eye on, or leaves you with a load of tiles you can't use, losing you loads of points!
Start off with 10 hearts and 0 victory points. Roll the dice to hit other players, regain lost hearts (as long as your character isn't in Tokyo), and accrue energy cubes and victory points. Use your energy cubes to buy cards that advantage you/disadvantage the other players. Get 20 victory points, or be the last one standing, to win.
