Various countries on Earth have set up colonies in cities that float in the clouds. Each player represents the governor of a floating city and must compete with other players to maximize the growth of their city by growing their population and strategically deploying it across the various departments to keep their city running. To help the cities, Earth has been sending immigrants and city upgrades in the form of Drops. At some point, a catastrophe occurs on Earth, cutting off communication with Venus. No one knows when the last Drop from Earth will come. Each round, players move through several phases: Resolve events, erode shields, grow and deploy population, mine for resources and modify the city, and grab a drop to improve the city. A player can gain victory points in the following ways: Points on station upgrades Points for a certain amount of mined resources Points for city population Bonus points for the most populous, the richest, and most upgraded cities Some time in the third phase of the drops, a card (randomly shuffled into the card deck) will turn up with the Earth on it. This card signifies that this is the last drop that will arrive from Earth and triggers the end of the game. The player with the most victory points at that point wins. —description from the publisher -------------------------- Get My Gear Here Video Gear -------------------------- Sony A660 4k Camera | https://amzn.to/3O1yWOd (Main Camera) Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 for Sony E Mount | https://amzn.to/3E6xmGh Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 | https://amzn.to/37K79RN GH5 Lumix 4k Camera | https://amzn.to/3xmbYLN LUMIX G MACRO LENS, 30MM | https://amzn.to/3E5ZxoJ LUMIX Professional 12-35mm | https://amzn.to/37Jk8my LUMIX Professional 8-18mm | https://amzn.to/367hmXM Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam | https://amzn.to/3JCbuUe (No Longer in my Kit) Audio Gear -------------------------- Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Microphone | https://amzn.to/38C38z0 Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator | https://amzn.to/37NuWAh Shure A26X 3" Extension Tube for Desk Stands | https://amzn.to/3E8BtkV Microphone Stand | https://amzn.to/3xptu1N Sennheiser Wireless Lavalier | https://amzn.to/3uDwYeY RODE PSA 1 Swivel Mount Studio Microphone Boom Arm | https://amzn.to/3jzMrXk Zoom H6 6-Track Portable Recorder | https://amzn.to/3xkqt2F 5-Way Multi Headphone Audio Splitter Connector | https://amzn.to/3O59zen Premium XLR to XLR Microphone Cable 3 Feet | https://amzn.to/3E78v4U Blue Microphones Yeti Studio | https://amzn.to/3xlnN4H (Currently not in my kit) Studio Gear -------------------------- Video Lighting Kit, 800D Studio Video Lights | https://amzn.to/3jxlZgT These links provide a small commission to me by Amazon.
