Field notes
The puzzle uses delayed growth: an item placed early receives more chances to evolve, while the final item receives only one. The chart gives each object a chain of named stages, from Water to Lake & Falls and People to Festival, with cross-item requirements such as Boat, Fire, Tree, and Fish levels. Wind is especially hazardous because it can damage fire or boats on later turns, not only when first placed.
