Underwater Cities

Specifikationer
In Underwater Cities, which takes approximately 30-45 minutes per player, players represent the most brilliant minds in the world. These minds have been nominated to handle the overpopulation of Earth by creating the best and most habitable underwater areas possible.
The main mechanic of the game is card placement. Three colored cards are placed along the edge of the main board in 3 x 5 slots, which are also color-coded. Ideally, players can place cards in slots of the same color, allowing them to perform both the action depicted in the slot on the main board and benefit from the card's advantages. Actions and benefits can allow players to collect raw materials; build and upgrade city domes, tunnels, and production buildings such as farms, desalination plants, and laboratories in their personal underwater areas; move their marker on the initiative track (which is important for turn order in the next round); activate the player's "A-cards"; and collect cards, both special cards and basic cards that provide better decision-making options during the game.
All of the nearly 220 cards — whether special cards or basic cards — are divided into five types depending on use and timing. The underwater areas are planned to be double-sided, giving players many opportunities to achieve VPs and ultimately win the game.
