This game is a blast. I've barely scratched the surface in the first couple hours of playtime, but the gameplay is intuitive and fun. It's an extremely satisfying combination of deckbuilding and tile-laying / base building that I haven't seen before, and I'm afraid to think about how much time I'm going spend playing it.

Fine game. Quite pretty. Would be awesome with more variety and different decks, maps, regions, etc. More stuff, essentially. Not that there isn't enough here for what it is. It's just, for me, the replayability isn't quite there. Even during the first run, things were beginning to feel a little same-y. Everything gets harder, but the strategy remains the same.

This game really gets the "just one more turn" vibe right. It's not really a city builder, it's much more of a puzzle-solving style of gameplay. I beat the first 2 campaigns, and I can see what tactics the third one needs but it takes a level of game-knowledge and risk-taking that I don't really want to develop. It's hardest at the start, when you lack cards/resources, but as you get to harder maps then you should have built up a deck tailored to your strategy and the final level should be pretty easy.

A very nice deckbuilding game where the path to victory is many and the game is relentless. For any boardgame fans and those who like resource managment and action economy system, this is a must try.

Very engaging puzzler. I wouldn't call this a city builder- you do not manage population, jobs, housing, etc. You place buildings via an rng progressive card system into tiles with strategic positioning to increase value. The challenge is good, and the variety of cards, buildings, maps imply large amount of replayability. This is one that has caught in the 'one more turn' mentality. Turns are very quick.

Turn based strategy game and deck building. Takes a minute to get the hang of, but it's exactly what I need when it comes to a chill strategy game. The demo was sick!
