Samara

Travel back in time to a settlement called Samara. You lead a small group of builders who cannot do much at the start. A sandcastle, a cave or a few simple huts, that is all they can manage for now. Do you want to put up bigger and finer buildings? Then you have to invest first. In skills, in strength, or in extra workers who lend you a hand. The heart of the game is the timeline. Every choice you make costs a number of workers a number of months. You decide for yourself how you use their time. They can learn to work with wood, stone and glass, they can build houses or special projects, they can grow stronger, or you can simply add a new worker. And sometimes they deserve a holiday. Special projects give you an advantage, or they set your opponents back. Smart planning is everything. When do you invest and when do you go for points? At the end, the fine buildings you have put up are what count. Whoever collects the most prestige may call themselves the best master builder of Samara. A game that makes your brain work, and one you can play with two to five players.
