Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Download link: http://bit.ly/1ECXIZk A complete Print & Play file (3 pages of cards, color, single-sided), including rules, is available at the link above. Players will also need a standard 6-sided die of any size or color. In ancient times, the aquaduct was an engineering marvel, bringing fresh water into cities choked with pollution and waste. You are a fledgling engineer with big plans for the future. If you can build aquaducts to every part of your city, provide much-needed amenities, and gain the people's favor, you will go down in history! This microgame consists of 24 cards, played as tiles in a city layout. Players get only one run through the deck, and must use their limited resources to expand, navigate, and build their city. The game features 4 difficulty levels (based on the size of the city), and offers great strategic gameplay with very few components.
