About this game

On the Terraces of Kanoa, nature flourishes across lush stepped landscapes. Builders gather resources and shape a unique territory, where each terrace can be used to plant trees, build houses, create cascading waterfalls, or reveal breathtaking panoramas. Only a harmonious balance will transform this land into a truly magnificent landscape. Terraces of Kanoa is a tactical tile-placement game where resources and nature intertwine to shape terraces and bring a grand landscape to life. To achieve this, players collect resources from the shared area and strategically place Landscape tiles to develop their own territory. Players freely build and stack tiles, watching their territory quickly grow in height and depth. As soon as a terrace is created (when a tile becomes isolated through stacking), trees, waterfalls, and houses can be built according to the terrain type. Every action has an immediate and visible impact, making the game intuitive, engaging, and highly satisfying to play. —description from the publisher
