Notes

Growth: Pick option 1 (place 2 presence range 1). Place both from card track to unlock 2 card plays. Expand to wetlands where River's Domain gives a sacred site with only 1 presence. Wash Away pushes up to 3 towns/explorers -- ideal on a land with a town that just got explored to prevent a city build. River's Bounty gathers Dahan and provides +1 energy (important for this opening).
