The objective is to control the most cards on the battleground by capturing your opponents’ cards while protecting your own.
Running a town has got to be one of the most stressful jobs around. That’s why we like to play games about it instead of trying to live it. Samara is a city planning game where players control workers that are building a new town. The goal is to plan the town’s design and manage resources better than your opponents. The player with the most prestige at the end winds the game.
Thirty years ago, role-play gamers would sketch out, in meticulous detail, their favorite character.
