Overview

Players take turns to place volcano tiles and settlements on an island emerging in the South Pacific.
The first player to build all their buildings of two types wins.

Tile: 3 hexagonal spaces; one Volcano and two other terrain types from: Jungle , Clearing , Sand , Rock , Lake .

Buildings: temples Temple , towers Tower , and huts Hut

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

Setup

Each player receives 3, 2, and 20.
12 tiles per player are shuffled face-down into a draw pile.

Game play

Tile placement

A tile is randomly selected.
Select the space and orientation of .

Expand the landscape

Place the tile touching at least one edge of an existing 1st-level tile.

Volcanic eruption

Place the on top of an existing .
Must have in a different direction.
Must have spaces under both its terrain spaces.
Any covered are destroyed and remain out of play.
Cannot destroy , or an entire settlement.

Building placement

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

Build a Hut

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

Build a Temple

Place 1 adjacent to one of your existing settlements that occupies at least 3 spaces.
Existing settlement must not already have a .

Build a Tower

Place 1 adjacent to one of your existing settlements and on a 3rd-level (or higher) space.
Existing settlement must not already have a .

Expand a settlement

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

-In Taluva, players build temples, towers, and huts to settle a volcanic island emerging from the South Pacific.
+Not a bug. Taluva uses an older, inefficient 3D technology which does not work well on mobile devices. It is strongly recommend to play on a desktop.

-* Expand an existing settlement by choosing a terrain type. On all adjacent spaces of that type, build '''huts''' equal to the height (one hut on first-level spaces, two huts on second-level spaces, etc.). You must have enough huts to build on all eligible spaces. In the example below, the red player can build 2 huts on lakes (one on each) or 1 hut on sand (but cannot build only 1 hut on lake).

-* Build a '''temple''' adjacent to one of your existing settlements occupying 3 or more spaces that does not already contain a temple. In the previous example, the red player could build a temple on sand if she built huts on both lakes in a prior turn. Note that it is the number of ''spaces'', not buildings, that determines whether a temple can be built in the settlement.

-* Build a '''tower''' on a third-level space (or higher) adjacent to one of your existing settlements that does not already contain a tower.
-You are allowed to build in such a way that two of your settlements join together, such that there are two temples or two towers in the same settlement, for example.
