Description

In Atlantis Rising, you're a citizen of the doomed island of Atlantis, racing against time to build a cosmic gate and save your home from sinking into the sea. As a cooperative game, you'll work with 1 to 5 other players to gather resources and construct the gate before it's too late. The game's difficulty level is determined by the gate's variable components, and you'll need to contend with the escalating threat of Athenian enemies who seek to destroy the island. Each turn, you'll place your Atlanteans in different areas of the island, balancing risk and reward as you try to gather resources and build the gate. With limited mystical energy and powerful one-time use cards at your disposal, you'll need to make strategic decisions to predict and prevent misfortunes and ultimately save Atlantis from destruction.
