With 18 different tiles, every game is unique. On their turn, players roll resource dice to get Gears, Steam, and Charges. Gears can give you new powers or help you connect to new parts of the city. Steam is used to send your automaton workers to city tiles. Charges can move your workers quickly or be used to defeat opponents. Workers on building tiles can activate buildings for a chain of benefits. As the city is uncovered, Opening Day approaches, and development speeds up. The game ends when the third Opening Day gear is drawn. Players controlling parts of the city on Opening Day earn extra Prestige, and the one with the most wins! We're excited to offer this game.
