Fast forward to the year 2212. Humanity has exhausted the Earth's resources, and the only way forward is to live in total symbiosis with nature. The symbol of this new era is the Ginkgo Biloba, the world's strongest tree, and around it, you must plan the city of Ginkgopolis. The catch? Habitable space is scarce, so the only way to grow is upward. You step into the shoes of an urban planner, striving to balance resource production and consumption while outsmarting your rivals.

In the game, you gather a team of experts and expand the city using tiles in three distinct colors: yellow tiles provide victory points, red tiles generate essential resources, and blue tiles grant you more city tiles. The gameplay is dynamic, with players selecting their action cards simultaneously. You can either expand the city's borders or, for a more strategic move, build directly on top of existing tiles.

Be careful, though! The game features a drafting mechanic where the cards you don't play are passed to your left-hand neighbor. If you hold onto a powerful card for too long, you might just hand your opponent the win. Additionally, when you build over a tile, you acquire 'Power Cards' for your personal tableau, granting you special abilities to scale up your building and point-scoring efficiency. It's a game of positioning, hand management, and keen observation of your opponents' moves. Do you have what it takes to create the most sustainable and efficient metropolis in Ginkgopolis?
