Gnomopolis

After generations, the underground gnomes' ancient capital needs relocation due to human expansion. Brave explorers and their families head to the Great Mountain's largest and deepest stone hall to build a new city - Gnomopolis! You and your friends will manage this new capital's construction. Gnomopolis is a fast - paced strategic game. Combine city growth with population specialization. With countless building - worker combinations, create clever action systems and scoring mechanisms in a race to win. In about 45 minutes, 1 - 4 players must think smartly to build their cities and trade with neighbors. The game is turn - based. Each turn, draw three gnome meeples from a cup and use them to construct buildings or perform actions like specializing adults, hiring more gnomes, earning coins, building golems, or controlling district workforce. As the city grows, more gnomes move in. At game's end, count points from coins and employed workers (watch out for unemployed gnomes!). The player with the most points wins!

To play Gnomopolis, start by sitting down with 1 to 4 friends. Each turn, draw three gnome meeples from the cup. Use these gnomes to build buildings or carry out actions. When performing actions, you can specialize adults, hire more gnomes, make some gold coins, build mechanical golems, or control the workforce in a district. As the game progresses and your city grows, more gnomes will move in on their own. Keep an eye on your unemployed gnomes as they won't help you score points. At the end of the game, count up your points from the coins you've earned and the workers you've placed in buildings. The one with the most points is the winner. Remember to think strategically about city growth and population specialization. There's no special maintenance needed for this game, just keep all the pieces in a safe place when you're not playing.
