## Description
Get ready to dive into the guts of Tudor London in Night Soil, a game that puts you in charge of a waste collection company! It's the Renaissance era, and while Europe celebrates progress, the English capital is drowning in its own refuse. Your job? Manage a "night soil" operation, collecting and transporting waste through the city's narrow alleys, all while trying to turn a profit and expand your business. By night, you'll use worker cards to strategically maneuver waste cubes, seeking efficient routes and avoiding chaos. Recruit more people to your team, but beware: the more workers you have, the more waste you might end up generating! By day, send your workforce out to advertise your company, gain favor with local businesses, or improve your company's assets. The game blends mechanics like area control, movement, deck/bag building, and resource management in a very peculiar way. The ultimate goal is simple: whoever amasses the most money by the end of the game wins. It's a unique experience that mixes strategy with a… let's say, refreshing theme! Perfect for those who enjoy medium-weight games and aren't afraid of a little "different" thematic element.
