## Description
Imagine this scenario: the world has been devastated by a nuclear disaster during the Cold War, forcing humanity to hide underground to survive. But this game isn't about staying hidden! In Phoenix New Horizon, the year is 2021, and technology has finally allowed us to look up again. The mission? Emerged from the underground to recolonize the Earth's surface! You take command of a specialized commando team tasked with the Herculean feat of building regenerators and new habitats to bring life back to the planet.

This is a classic Euro-style management game, but with an intense survival and reconstruction twist. Over four rounds, you'll need to manage your resources with surgical precision. The real game-changer here is how you handle your commando team. You can keep your agents versatile for any situation or invest heavily in specializing each one, turning them into powerful specialists at the cost of some flexibility.

Each turn, you'll allocate your workers (which are quite distinct from one another) to perform strategic actions. Fulfilling missions assigned by the authorities isn't just about glory; it's what grants you extra actions to boost your turn. Additionally, the game offers objectives that change every session, ensuring you can't rely on the same strategy every time. If you enjoy games where every construction decision and every end-game bonus can shift the fate of a civilization, get ready for humanity's new horizon!
