Underwater Cities (Board Game)

In Underwater Cities, which takes about 30–45 minutes per player, playersrepresent the most powerful brains in the world, brains nominated due to theoverpopulation of Earth to establish the best and most livable underwater areaspossible.

The main principle of the game is card placement. Three colored cards areplaced along the edge of the main board into 3 × 5 slots, which are alsocolored. Ideally players can place cards into slots of the same color. Then theycan take both actions and advantages: the action depicted in the slot on themain board and also the advantage of the card. Actions and advantages can allowplayers to intake raw materials; to build and upgrade city domes, tunnels andproduction buildings such as farms, desalination devices and laboratories intheir personal underwater area; to move their marker on the initiative track(which is important for player order in the next turn); to activate the player's“A-cards”; and to collect cards, both special ones and basic ones that allowfor better decision possibilities during gameplay.

All of the nearly 220 cards — whether special or basic — are dividedinto five types according to the way and time of use. Underwater areas areplanned to be double-sided, giving players many opportunities to achieve VPs andfinally win.
