Unboxing Thursdays: Sponsored by Trick or Treat Studios- City Of The Living

Unboxing Thursdays we open, learn, and play games as we add them to our library. For the month of October any event you attend hosted by Voss Media will give you a stamp on your ticket book! This even does qualify for a ticket!

This month we are partnering with Trick or Treat Studios!

This Thursday we are playing and learning City of The Living which is our Friday Night Smackdown game!

City of The Living: 6.7

Prosperity has players building up their countries on a grand but abstract scale, with them needing to balance concerns over energy and ecology with the constant need for capital and the long-term goal of prosperity points.

The game starts with 24 tiles available, half on the energy side of the shared game board and half on the ecology side. Two tiles on each side are placed on levels 1-6, with the players each having two research markers – energy and ecology – that start at level 1. Each player has an individual game board with color-coded spaces for tiles, a pollution track, and tracks for energy and ecology. A stack of 36 tiles – with tiles arranged by decades: the six from 2030 on the bottom, then the five from 2020, and so on to the five from 1970 – is set up during the playing area.

On a turn, a player draws the top tile from the stack, then everyone resolves the symbol highlighted on the tile:

Energy – for a positive value, earn money; for a negative value, lose money or increase your pollution Ecology – remove or add discs to your pollution track Capital – earn money for each capital symbol on the tiles you own Research – advance one research marker one space for each research symbol on tiles you own Prosperity – score points for each prosperity symbol on tiles you own, but only if your pollution isn't maxed out
