About the game

Each of six days allows one project or rest. Building uses shared resources; demolition removes a building’s function. Success requires connected infrastructure, sufficient shelter and a preserved workshop, while the epilogue names the lost places. Prototype 0.1.0. Age 16+; 2–4 players, no facilitator. Entirely offline. All game materials are in Polish; this English text describes the product. Play time of 75–105 minutes and preparation of about 15 minutes after reading and printing are estimates. Rule models and digital files checked. Human playtests, physical printing and independent preparation remain pending.

What is included?

A map, six building cards and six demolition overlays, three crossings, six day cards, sixteen steel and sixteen wood counters, function markers, state and ending sheets and three hints. Two complete packages, colour and black and white, each containing 3 PDFs, a print guide and font licences.
