About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Ready for another challenge in Naturopolis? This time, the threat comes in the form of a single card: Nessie! This aquatic critter has decided to show up and wants to destroy everything you've carefully built. Your mission is clear: connect enough rivers to appease the beast and save the city. This one-card expansion brings the same vibe as 'Sprawlopolis: Wrecktar,' adding a chaotic element that will test your planning and cooperation skills. It's one of those quick additions that completely change the dynamic of the base game, requiring you to think outside the box (or rather, within the card!). Perfect for those who enjoy an extra challenge and want to spice up their Naturopolis sessions. It's a game that fits in your pocket, but don't underestimate the potential for fun and stress this little card can bring. Play together, connect those rivers, and show Nessie who's boss in the city!
