You can curtail the growth of cities by placing tiles that close them off. For those who have not played Carcassonne , here is a primer.

Mobile GPUs are very different from desktop GPU, to make better use of limited access to fast memory mobile GPUs use a tile based architecture. This means that the render buffer is divided into smaller tiles. All geometry is processed first while the GPU keeps track of which triangles need to be rendered to each tile.

In my last Designer Diary for Tasty Humans , I talked about how I approached scoring based on the arrangement of tiles in each of the monster’s stomachs. The Leader Tiles provided a lot of variety in the tactical decisions while trying to maximize your score. In Tasty Humans, you never simply play a single tile.

Thus, the objective shifted to involve forming certain patterns in that completed grid of tiles.
