Grab your life jacket, because Atlantis is sinking fast! In Atlantis Rising (Second Edition), you and your fellow council members face a desperate mission: construct a cosmic gate to rescue your people before the island vanishes beneath the waves. This is a cooperative worker placement game where time is your deadliest foe. The tension is real: you'll want to deploy your citizens to the most resource-rich areas, but the closer they are to the shoreline, the higher the risk they'll be lost to a sudden flood.

This second edition has been refined to feel even more strategic and urgent. Forget enemy naval attacks; the true danger now comes from the 'Wrath of the Gods.' Every round, the group must collectively decide which tiles to flood, demanding flawless coordination to avoid losing vital workers. Councilor powers have been expanded to offer deeper strategic layers, and the cosmic gate itself has been redesigned—once built, it doesn't just provide one-time bonuses, but creates new worker placement spots to help your cause. It’s a frantic race against nature and fate, where every die roll and every placement decision could mean the difference between salvation and total extinction. If you love games where the board literally shrinks and the pressure keeps mounting, you're in for a treat!
