What All in all, I found the game to be an interesting strategic exercise. When a player begins a new era, he/she resolves several steps. The game board and player mats use mostly symbols, making the game very visual and almost language-independent. Each track is broken into sections, and every section has a resource cost. For being as strategic as it is, Tapestry is surprisingly streamlined. Resources are gained based on what spaces are uncovered at the top of a player’s tableau – the more buildings they are able to construct, the more spaces they will uncover and thus, the more resources they will earn going forward.

(Its rulebook is only 4 pages!) A sampling of them; everything from an apothecary to a space shuttle launchpad. The paths you choose will vary greatly from real-world events or people — your civilization is unique! Certain spaces bear the image of a building on them (such as the Lighthouse on the “Navigation” space above). I am not one to be swayed by popular opinion, but in this case, I believe the population is correct – the powers do not all seem appropriately weighted. The primary action takes place on a central board, but each player also has an individual tableau which tracks their resources, technologies, and capital city.
