❤ Deck-Building Mechanics

A core part of the experience is the deck-building mechanics. You start with a basic deck of cards representing buildings, technologies, and resources. As you play, you can acquire new cards to expand your deck, creating powerful synergies and combos between the different card types. This encourages experimentation with various strategies and card combinations.

❤ City-Building Mechanics

The city-building aspects revolve around the placement and optimization of buildings within the limited space available. You must carefully consider the positioning of structures to maximize resource generation, unlock new building spaces, and create efficient production chains. This encourages strategic thinking and spatial awareness as you try to build the most effective and compact city layout.

❤ Resource Management

Managing resources is crucial, as you must balance the production of key materials like Luminoil, Eclairium, and other specialized resources to power the lighthouse, expand the city, and unlock new technologies. The resource management systems add a layer of challenge, as you must continually optimize your production and distribution to keep your city running smoothly.

❤ Synergies and Combos

One of the highlights is the ability to create powerful synergies and combos between the city's buildings and your deck of cards. By carefully selecting and positioning buildings, and then combining them with complementary cards, you can unlock unique and game-changing effects. This rewards experimentation and the discovery of effective combinations.

❤ Replayability and Progression

While the core gameplay loop remains consistent, the experience offers a good degree of replayability. Each playthrough presents new challenges, as you must adapt to the specific cards and building layouts available. Additionally, the game features multiple regions to explore, each with their own unique characteristics and objectives. As you progress, you can unlock new technologies and strategies, further enhancing the depth and variety of the experience.
