About the game
What you do in a play session
Suit up, space pioneer! In Reworld, you're tasked with the epic mission of terraforming a desolate planet into a thriving new home. The game is split into two distinct phases that test your strategic planning. In the first half, it's all about logistics and cargo management. You'll navigate the five levels of your spaceship over five rounds, using cards to claim essential tiles like terrabots for building cities, shuttles for transport, material vessels, and satellites. The trick lies in the card-matching mechanics: to claim a specific tile, you must play the correct card number or combine others to act as jokers. Managing your ship's levels is crucial to ensure you don't run out of space or resources. Once the ship is packed, the second half shifts to planetary deployment. Now, you take those collected tiles and build your new world! You'll arrange cities, connect shuttles to deliver materials, and place satellites to boost your score. Success depends on meeting specific goals set at the start—like building cities of certain sizes or ensuring specific resource flows—and optimizing your final layout. It's a satisfying blend of tile placement and hand management where you're building something from nothing. If you enjoy games that reward foresight and careful resource management, Reworld offers a rewarding journey through the stars!
