Prepare to dive into an energy revolution that goes beyond our planet! In Nucleum: Gibraltar, you're not just playing; you're shaping the future of nuclear energy. This expansion takes us to an unprecedented setting, where the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, and Morocco join forces on an audacious project: the first nuclear-powered submarine. And guess where the headquarters for this endeavor is located? Gibraltar, of course! You'll be a visionary entrepreneur, ready to seize this historic opportunity. Your mission? Generate the nuclear energy needed for the submarine, of course, but also innovate in Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula with never-before-seen constructions. The expansion brings new Urban Buildings, Contracts, and Technologies to spice up the game. Keep an eye on the Military Contracts: fulfilling them in Gibraltar grants you access to exclusive military technologies, in addition to the eight standard technologies. It's a race against time and other players to meet military demands, drive industrial progress, and perhaps etch your name into history. With mechanics like action retrieval, hand management, and route building, the expansion promises intense strategic challenges. If you enjoy complex games with strong themes and plenty of decision-making, Nucleum: Gibraltar is your next addiction.
