It is a deck builder where the played cards become buildings in a growing city. Each building synergizes with multiple other ones, especially surrounding population count. You lose when you let 3 things get out of hand, symbolized by red alert symbols in the top corner. It is an interesting idea, but I have seen it implemented better, for example with Roots of Yggorasil, which is doing some similar stuff, but with much more varied (in a good way) objectives and interactions. I got this in a humble bundle. I am glad I tried it, but I played it for a couple of hours and moved on.
Even if it delivers what it promises, something feels missing.
The game is not fast enough. Runs take too long, it takes me at least 2 hours to build a city. That's a lot of time for a chill game like this.
The fun factor in the game is missing a lot. City building etc. parts are nice but not fun. It doesn't give you a dopamine rush to play over and over again.
