Arcane Wonders

Aquatica is an in-depth, yet easy-to-learn family engine builder about underwater kingdoms. In the game you become one of the mighty ocean kings, struggling to bring glory to his empire. To win the game you must capture and purchase locations, recruit new characters and complete objectives; each of these actions will earn you victory points at the end of the game. To do this, you must play cards from your hand (each with a unique set of actions) and combine them. Don't think it's easy! With a good strategy during your turn, you can perform up to ten actions in a row. You will encounter numerous mysterious ocean creatures and take them to your control. With their help you will explore the unknown locations and raise found resources from the depths of the ocean to your kingdom. Mechanically, this is represented using a three-tiered player board and the unique mechanic of card advancement.

Take on the role of the great leaders of the past to build your own Ancient City. Each player uses their gold each round to build tiles that grow their city's economy. A city that produces more food and trades creates more residents. Grow your city! There are 5 types of buildings, and each of them provides a type of resource that will allow your city to evolve from a simple settlement to the largest city in the world. If your buildings are completely enclosed from all sides, you have created a very well-planned city block. This will earn you a lot of points. To place new buildings in your city, you also need a lot of roads. Adjacent roads allow you to place buildings further on the map. This gives you access to natural resources, which, in addition to other benefits, also provide victory points. Just as important as the buildings are the monuments and wonder tokens. These give you a lot of victory points, but use up all your gold. Be wise in choosing where and when you place them. Each monument requires buildings, roads, natural resources, or even water nearby to place it. It won't be easy to place them in your city, but the benefits are great. If you run out of gold, your turn is over. Once all players have spent their gold, a new round begins and new buildings and roads are available to everyone. Ultimately, once a player reaches the maximum population limit, the leader of the best city in the ancient world will be the winner of World Wonders!
