What this is
In Taluva, players race to build temples and towers or tribal supremacy on an active volcanic island. Ultimate victory - and an immediate end to the game - waits for the player who manages to place all their buildings of two types. Next, the player will place one or more wooden buildings; huts, temples or towers.
