Terraces of Kanoa is a tactical tile-laying game where resources and nature intertwine to shape terraces and bring a magnificent landscape to life.

To do so, you must collect resources from the shared area, then strategically place your Landscape tiles to build your own territory. Create terraces and build trees, waterfalls, and houses, placing them harmoniously to maximize your points.

Players freely build and stack tiles, watching their territory quickly evolve in height and relief.

As soon as a terrace is created (when a tile is isolated through stacking), trees, waterfalls, and houses can be built, depending on the type of landscape.

Every action has an immediate and visible impact, making the game intuitive and highly satisfying.
