Each block of a building needs to be supported by a piece underneath it, but they can also be placed on the sea floor. Most pieces are fairly wide, so if you start by building vertically early you may need to spend time placing spacers on the sides to get them tall enough to use later on. I've found the most success building wide before building tall, and trying to stay wide as efficiently as possible

I think I'm most impressed by this game's commitment to the theme. You think the 'decay' is your ever-sinking colony, and then you're three turns deep without a right-facing piece. You finally accept it, dropping spacers and making do, and then there it is: a right-facing piece. You repeat this cycle, each time whittling away at your faith that the game will give you the pieces you need. Finally, just as it is about to tatter beyond repair, the game throws you a lifeline. You've gotta have faith for the game to erode it, after all.

I didn't play The World Is Sinking. It played me.
