Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

In this video, I preview a prototype copy of Cities of Venus: Survivors by James and Adam Staley, published by Tin Robot Games. This game will be coming to Kickstarter on February 18, 2025. It is a stand-alone sequel to the first game in the series, Cities of Venus: Lost Contact. Cities of Venus: Survivors is a medium-light weight, dice manipulation + polyomino game for 2-6 players where you pilot your mech by manipulating dice and unlocking exploration tiles to find discarded mech parts, v-nite crystals, and engineer survivors to help you get home to your city in the clouds of Venus. **A prototype version of the board game was provided to make this video.** *BGG Link:* https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/397810/cities-of-venus-survivors *Kickstarter Link:* https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tinrobot/cities-of-venus-survivors?ref=e7meq6 *Tin Robot Games Page:* https://tinrobotgames.com/en-us *World Series of Board Gaming:* If you would like to attend the World Series of Board Gaming in September 2025, feel free to use this link and the referral code: *BillyIndiana* https://wsbgvegas.com/?ref=BillyIndiana @BillyIndiana2020 (Instagram and Twitter) Billy Indiana (Facebook) #boardgames #tabletopgames #boardgamereviews #boardgamereview #BillyIndiana2020 #WSBG #citiesofvenus #citiesofvenussurvivors #tinrobotgames #jamesstaley #adamstaley Art by @abi.lisko Intro and Outro by Jeff Webb Video Capture with OBS Studio Video Editing with HitFilm Express Graphic Design with Canva #unboxing #kickstarter #WorldSeriesofBoardGaming #boardgame #boardgamer #boardgamers #game #games #boardgamephotos #boardgamephotography #boardgameart #boardgameaddict #boardgamegeek #bgg #bggcommunity #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamersofinstagram #bggstats #tabletop #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #boardgamenight #gamenight #boardgamelife #hobbyboardgame #hobbyboardgames #hobbyboardgamer #gaming #played #meeple #meeples #dodgers #losangelesdodgers #ladodgers

About Cities of Venus: Survivors, from BoardGameGeek:

Set during the time of Cities of Venus, Survivors continues the story with the search for survivors on the surface by the brave mining mech operators. The object of this stand-alone polyomino-dice manipulation game is to find as many survivors as possible while discovering fuel for the re-ascent vehicle. Once the launch sequence is initiated, players utilize the resources and engineers that they had rescued to secure their place as the captain, and hero, of the re-ascent ship. The winner is the player who has the best dice combination at the end of the Launch Sequence. -description from the publisher
