Description

In the year 2212, humanity is building cities in harmony with nature, with the Ginkgo Biloba tree as a symbol of this new approach. As an urban planner in Ginkgopolis, you'll gather a team of experts to develop a city that balances resource production and consumption. The city is built upwards, with scarce habitable space, making every decision crucial. You'll start with Character cards that provide resources and bonuses, and then choose Construction or Urbanization cards to add new tiles to the city or build on top of existing ones. As you build, you'll collect power cards that give you additional abilities, allowing you to scale up your efforts and score points. The game is easy to learn, with normal complexity rules, making it accessible to board game enthusiasts. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, you can enjoy Ginkgopolis with 1 to 5 players, either competitively or solo, and experience the thrill of building a sustainable city in a science fiction world.
