That’s lovely Andrew. It’s a delightful combination of specific hard and fast rules plus some random behaviours. Within those you can sort of work out the design but designing Venice might be a big ask. Don’t forget about checking the grid before you’ve put down the first piece as it allows you to at least decide on some general layouts. I won’t say more because a) it’s fun finding out the surprises and b) there’s loads I don’t know!
