Tasnia is a resource gathering game that also employs tile laying. Players draw resources to form a hand of 6 cards and they spend these resources (Wood, Stone, Iron, Laborer, Carpenter, Mason, and Gold) to purchase portions of a building. These portions come in the form of tiles that can be used to construct medieval buildings. Completed buildings score players points. Incomplete buildings are worth far less. In addition there are also special cards that allow players to perform additional actions. These cards include characters such as the Baron, the Scoundrel, and the Merchant.
