About the game

Using public forecasts, negotiate water allocations, works and promises. Sheets distinguish allocation limits, actual drainage, storage and losses. Three district votes decide even with five participants, while support roles prepare calculations. Residents remain safe. Prototype 0.1.0. Age 18+; 3–5 players, no facilitator. Entirely offline. All game materials are in Polish; this English text describes the product. Play time of 80–110 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.
