About this game

Atlantis Rising Second Edition puts your whole island on a sinking clock, and the clock does not care how good your plan is. Together you place workers across a shrinking homeland, and the juiciest spots near the shoreline pay off big but flood first, so every placement is a small bet against the tide. A fresh misfortune card each round can swamp a location or twist the knife some other way, and you are racing to gather enough resources to build a cosmic gate before Atlantis vanishes for good. Big-box drama, real cooperative pressure and gorgeous new artwork make this a proper event of an evening rather than a filler.
