Explore and Exploit: The Summit

A resource collection and worker placement game where the landscape is revealed as explored, as tiles are flipped and settled around a central tile, the summit. The summit tile contains a number icon on each face, and a dice roll per turn indicates how weather affects production of settled areas. All areas settled will usually produce something, rewarding good placement strategy, but the weather roll will influence that production, allowing for good and bad seasons, but never crushing anyone's chances with a series of unfortunate dice rolls. Players can survey the land quickly, sending settlers to only the prime locations, or can send settlers out blind, hoping to find a choice spot and get a head start on production.
