About the game

What you do in a play session

Over 150 years have passed since the disappearance of Louise Delargue, the brilliant inventor of the Perpetual Steam Engine (PSE). Her revolutionary invention, capable of providing infinite energy for cities and technologies, never had its secrets revealed. At that time, the crystals powering the PSEs seemed inexhaustible, but population growth and greed for power eventually pushed them to the brink of collapse. Now, the crystals are failing, and PSEs struggle to keep up with demand. In Delta, you embark on an adventure through the mysterious Kamargo region, seeking answers about these crystals. Explore the board, observe the 'mechanimals' (mechanical animals like tortoises, flamingos, horses, and bulls), and send your crew to maximize your actions. Along the way, you can recruit new members to your team and undertake special missions that will test your cunning. Wisely managing your hand of cards, gathering knowledge, and fulfilling contracts are the keys to emerging victorious in this exciting steampunk adventure. Prepare for a journey of exploration and strategy where every decision counts!
