About this game

The Republia country already has a constitution, now its inhabitants have to choose their capital. A game with two main mechanics: engine builder and worker placement. The goal is to reach the end of the scoring track (40 wellness points) building our sustainable and environmentally friendly city. Different strategies to generate the point generating engine: 1) go for a set collection of certain types of buildings (pink or light blue) and/or 2) build your resource generating engine that in its final stage produces exportable goods and people that turn them into points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
