Field notes
The instructions describe a board where workers uncover neighboring squares one tile at a time; surrounding numbers count lairs, dragon, or treasure. Soldiers can be sent to revealed lairs or called back, and buildings can be placed on cleared land inside the player's border. The interface also exposes map import and sharing, plus room-based multiplayer using a five-letter code or invite link.
