Tapestry
Tapestry
Over several rounds, you'll choose from four advancement tracks (Science, Military, Exploration, and Technology) to gain resources, score points, and unlock unique tapestry cards that provide ongoing benefits. Instead of traditional turns, players take income turns at their own pace. You'll also place landmark buildings on your growing capital city. The player with the most victory points at the end wins this sprawling race through history.

We collect all the questions you players have asked us and put them on this page so we can share the answers with everyone.
There is no single 'best' strategy. Tapestry rewards diverse approaches. Focusing on a single advancement track can be powerful, but it's often more effective to balance your efforts and adapt to the tapestry cards you draw. Pay attention to what your opponents are doing and try to capitalize on opportunities that arise.
You gain income buildings by advancing on the advancement tracks (Science, Technology, Military, and Exploration). Each time you reach a new space on a track with an income symbol, you place the corresponding building on your capital city board and gain its benefit during the income phase.
If you run out of population cubes, you can't place them on the tapestry cards or your capital city board. Prioritize placement and consider strategies to acquire more cubes, such as certain technology cards or advancements.
The Military track can be very important, but it's not always essential to winning. It allows you to conquer territories on the map, gaining resources and potentially blocking opponents. However, a well-developed civilization on other tracks can still be very competitive.
