Get ready to play the role of an urban planner in Ginkgopolis, where the ancient and mighty Ginkgo Biloba serves as the symbol of a unique city-building approach that harmonizes with nature. With resources depleted, the need for sustainable cities is more urgent than ever, and your goal is to build up instead of out. Recruit a skilled team and compete to be the top city planner in this exciting game.
In the city of Ginkgopolis, tiles come in three shades: yellow for victory, red for resources, and blue for new tiles. Certain tiles begin in play, marked by letters indicating where new tiles may go.
Players start with three Character cards that provide starting resources and bonuses to power their game actions. Each turn, players simultaneously select a Construction or Urbanization card from their hand. These cards are then revealed, with players adding new tiles to the city's border or stacking them on existing tiles. Remember, any cards you don't use will be passed to your neighbor on the left, so think ahead about how your move will affect theirs! When you construct over a tile, its corresponding "power" card is added to your tableau, giving you extra abilities to boost your building and scoring strategies.
A great tile-placement strategy game that can be played solo or up to 5 players.
