Ternary aspires to be a fun and strategic expand and exploit game with a minimal ruleset. In Ternary, workers lay tiles to build a network of roads along which workers move to claim resources and to strategically position themselves. Playing this game sometimes feels like doing a puzzle, with careful tile laying and infrequent movement, and other times it plays like a ruthless game of greedily grabbing points and in-your-face positioning. There is a 1-player variant, and is best for 2-3 players, but up to 6 can play. —description from the designer
