In Taluva, players build temples, towers, and huts to settle a volcanic island emerging from the South Pacific. The game ends in an early victory if a player builds '''all of two types''' of buildings. Otherwise, the game ends when no tiles remain and the winner is the player who built the most '''temples''' (in case of a tie, the most '''towers''' and then the most '''huts''').

Buildings: temples Temple​, towers Tower​, and huts Hut​

Settlement: a group of one or more buildings of the same colour on adjacent spaces.

  • Must have Volcano​ in a different direction.
  • Must have spaces under both its terrain spaces.
  • Any Hut​ covered are destroyed and remain out of play.
  • Cannot destroy Temple​, Tower​ or an entire settlement.

Building placement

Place buildings on empty terrain space(s) of any one terrain type (not Volcano​).

Build a Hut

  • Place Hut1 on a 1st-level space not adjacent to any of your existing settlements.

Build a Temple

  • Place Temple1 adjacent to one of your existing settlements that occupies at least 3 spaces.
  • Existing settlement must not already have a Temple​.

Build a Tower

  • Place Tower1 adjacent to one of your existing settlements and on a 3rd-level (or higher) space.
  • Existing settlement must not already have a Tower​.

Expand a settlement

  • Place Hut​ adjacent to one of your existing settlements on all spaces of that terrain type.
  • 1st-level ⇨ Hut1, 2nd-level ⇨ Hut2, 3rd-level ⇨ Hut3 etc.
  • Cannot build more Hut​ than available.
