🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Rebuild in the ruins of the apocalypse
After the zombie invasion, players lead the cities of the survivors , trying to develop infrastructure, energy and research to thrive in a devastated world.
2. Plan your growth
Each turn reveals an event tile that affects everything: energy production, pollution, capital, research, or prosperity. You'll need to balance development and sustainability to avoid succumbing to chaos.
3. Manage energy, ecology and resources
Each city has two research tracks —energy and ecology—and a pollution level to manage. Expanding too quickly can bring immediate benefits... but also environmental disasters.
4. Build and enhance your territory
With your funds, you can purchase new tiles to place on your personal board, improving infrastructure, reducing pollution, or increasing productivity. Some areas must be unlocked with transportation, but every choice carries a risk.
5. The most prosperous (and least toxic) leader wins.
At the end of the game, players earn points for their energy, ecology, capital, research, and overall prosperity. The most balanced and sustainable city will be declared the new capital of the living world.
The world is dead. Now it's up to you to decide if it will be reborn.
Humanity has survived the apocalypse. Now it must learn to deserve it.
