Ginkgopolis

Build as high as possible to control the most buildings in this futuristic eco-city!

2212: Ginkgo Biloba, the oldest and strongest tree in the world, has become a symbol of a new method of building cities in interaction with nature. Humans have exhausted the resources that the Earth offered them, and now humanity must develop cities that maintain a balance between resource production and consumption. However, habitable space is scarce and humanity is now faced with the challenge of building everything ever higher. To develop this new type of city, you will gather around you a team of experts and strive to become the best urban planner of Ginkgopolis.

In Ginkgopole, the city squares come in three colors: yellow, which provides victory points; in red, which provides resources; and blue, which provides new urban playing fields. Some squares are available early in the game and are surrounded by letter markers that indicate where new squares can be placed.

During turns, each player simultaneously selects a card from their hand. Players reveal these cards by adding new squares to the appropriate locations within the city boundary, or by placing them on top of existing squares. Every card in your hand that you don't play is dealt to your neighbor on the left, so be aware of how your hand can shape their next turn's hand!

When you add a new square to a city, you take a "power" card of the same color, and these cards give you additional abilities during the game, allowing you to increase your building and scoring opportunities.
