Shrinkopolis

2025·Ondra Sekanina

1 - 4 players
15 - 45 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Humanity had a rough time. Climate change, overpopulation, hunger - you name it, we messed it up. So the world's brightest scientists got together to fix everything the best way they knew how. With a shrink ray. One mysterious lab accident later, and boom - everyone on Earth woke up fun-sized. Shrinkopolis is a resource management tile-placement game for 1-4 players and 15 - 45 minutes. Each player will build their own district inside the great living room. Win the hearts of your fellow micro-citizens, and you'll be crowned the very first mayor of Shrinkopolis. On your turn, choose two adjacent cards (a city card and a reward card) from the circular offer. Place one to expand your city and gather resource dice by creating connections with already placed cards. Then, optionally spend a specific die to get a reward card of the same color from the common or personal supply. Collecting different animals gives you cute meeples to share other players´ resources. Getting useful tools allows you to manipulate with resource dice. Build sets of the same type of cards to unlock even better actions and receive more points. After 5 rounds, tally up all points earned from reward cards and public and personal goals, and whoever has the most points wins and becomes the Mayor of Shrinkopolis! -description from designer
