Each player begins the game with a grain farm that produces food for many people. However, you will need to choose wisely who you let settle into your village as food and resources are limited. On your turn you will draft a villager card from the prepared road of face-up cards. The number of cards you will draft will be equal to 2+ the number of food symbols on villager cards already in your village. Each player will draft one card replacing the empty slot with one from one of the face-down draw piles. The next player then drafts one card and fills the slot. This continues going around the table until all players have drawn their predetermined card drafting limit. Many of the villager cards will have special skills and some will have requirements that must be met. Next begins the build phase. On your turn you can place a number of your village cards into your village. The number of cards will be equal to 2+ the number of production symbols on villager cards already in your village. As your village continues to grow you will be able to generate more gold. There are two market phases where you can earn gold. The first occurs when the first two of the six draw stacks are empty. The second market phase occurs after the last stack is empty, gold is awarded accordingly, and then ends the game. The player with the most gold after the second market phase is the winner.

Underwater Cities
Rio Grande Games |
Build a future under the waves in Underwater Cities, a worker placement with network and tableau building game.
As overcrowded metropolises spread across the earth, humanity has realized it is time to establish a new home on the ocean floor. Kelp farms can provide food. Desalination plants can provide water. And laboratories can provide the technology needed to build a network of underwater cities.
In Underwater Cities players direct the founding of their own underwater nations. They collect resources to build cities, a transportation network, and the facilities necessary to support life under the sea.
Everything is accomplished by playing cards to choose various actions. If the car matches the action, the player also gains a benefit from the card. At times, the action may be so important that the player will choose it even with a non matching card. At other times, the benefit of the card may be so good that any action is acceptable as long as the card matches it. Balancing these choices is the key to building an underwater habitat in which humanity can thrive.
