A meaty farming game in a flood-prone marsh, where you breed sheep, expand your farm, and help build a communal dike against the rising tide. Every citizen you send to the dike is one not tending your flock, so you're forever torn between the common good and your own prosperity.
Who it's for
Experienced players who want a meaty euro with a distinctive collective-risk dilemma and serious resource management.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a short or breezy game. At roughly a hundred minutes with real complexity, it is too heavy for casual nights, and the dike calculus can lead to fiddly analysis.
Vibe's take
A tense balance of private gain and public safety, with a looming flood that punishes freeloaders and martyrs alike.
