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''').

== 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 {{TaluvaVolcano}} and two other terrain types from: {{TaluvaJungle}}, {{TaluvaClearing}}, {{TaluvaSand}}, {{TaluvaRock}}, {{TaluvaLake}}.
 
'''Buildings''': temples {{TaluvaTemple}}, towers {{TaluvaTower}}, and huts {{TaluvaHut}}
 
'''Settlement''': a group of one or more buildings of the same colour on adjacent spaces.


== Setup ==
== Setup ==
12 tiles per player are shuffled to form a draw pile. Each player receives 3 temples, 2 towers, and 20 huts.
 
* Each player receives {{TaluvaTemple|3}}, {{TaluvaTower|2}}, and {{TaluvaHut|20}}.
* 12 tiles per player are shuffled face-down into a draw pile.

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 Temple3, Tower2, and Hut20.
  • 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 Volcano.

Expand the landscape

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

Volcanic eruption

  • Place the Volcano on top of an existing Volcano.
  • 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.

Expand one settlement into all Sand:

Game end

  • The first player to build all buildings of two types wins immediately.
  • Otherwise the game ends when there are no more tiles to play.

Tiebreaks

  1. Most Temple
  2. Most Tower
  3. Most Hut

BGA tiebreak score = 1000 points / Temple + 100 points / Tower + 1 point / Hut
