I like how the map reflects two "eras" concurrently -- pre and post colonization.
As I play through it, two strategies occur to me: Either evenly spacing all features around the map and attempting to protect each one individually, or concentrating all the features in one area to limit losses to two.
I don't think this is the intended way to interact with the game, perhaps these "optimal" paths could be removed by randomizing the placement of the cultural landmarks.
That’s a really good point! I hadn’t considered the drive one has to play to win enough.
This is a very interesting game, it is easy to learn and to prepare and it promotes the consideration of an interesting subject in a respectful way. Well done!
The pig latin is a very nice detail, a simple thing that does a great job of showing the colonizer's disdain and disconnect from the native population and their culture.
Drawing round the cards! that's a lovely thing.
