At the end of 8 rounds calculate your victory points.

PLAY SOLO working to gain achievements and unlock new abilities to help your village reach even greater heights. PLAY COOPERATIVELY by working together to successfully prepare your village before natural disasters strike.

A game only played in your hand (palm). Interesting mechanics. Missing a little variety to make it a long time stay, but it's really the only game doing what it does.
