## Description
In Yonder, you take on the role of a leader tasked with founding a new settlement on distant shores. Following a cataclysm in the old world, ships full of refugees—elves, goblins, ogres, dwarves, and skeletons—arrive on a new continent, bringing with them valuable arcane crystals. Your mission is to transform a handful of workers, resources, and food into a thriving, ever-expanding community, on the edge of a mysterious city. This is a mid-weight worker placement game, unfolding over five intense rounds. You'll need to gather essential resources, secure food supplies for your population, and strategically expand your settlement. The key to success lies in wisely positioning your workers, making the most of each species' special abilities. Direct the construction of vital buildings for your colony's growth and, when necessary, dispatch your workers to other players' settlements, trading manpower for the use of their facilities. Furthermore, a stream of envoys will offer lucrative contracts that you must fulfill, balancing rewards with the risk of unsustainable commitments. Prepare for the challenges that await you 'yonder'!
