Description

In Steam Donkey, you're competing to build the most magnificent seaside resort, worthy of a royal visit. As the designer of these developments, you must complete your resort first and claim your rightful place as Chief Architect. With the help of enigmatic characters like Donkey-boy, Lord Admiral, Princess Royal, and Madame Ice-cream, you'll make decisions about which cards to take into your hand and where to build in the Park, Beach, or Town area. The game is easy to learn, but has depth to its strategic play, making it fun for 2 to 4 players. The unique card mechanism, where the reverse of each card shows holiday-makers arriving at a railway station, adds a new layer of strategy. Players build amusements, lodgings, monuments, and transport, and collect visitors to their hand, all in a race to complete their resort in just 45 minutes.
