About the game

What you do in a play session

If you think managing a city is just about building structures, Rise is here to prove you wrong! In this game, you take on the role of a leader responsible for the economic and social development of an evolving metropolis. The real challenge lies in balancing industrial and technological growth with something often overlooked: citizen well-being and environmental conservation. A massive economy means nothing if your city faces social chaos or ecological collapse, right?

The core of the experience revolves around ten different progress tracks. Over twelve rounds, you'll move your markers to gain influence and unlock new effects, attempting to balance science, culture, and politics. The real spice comes from the card mechanic: unexpected events and tough ethical decisions pop up every round, forcing you to constantly pivot your strategy. It's the kind of game where what worked last round might not work in the next.

Once the twelve rounds are up, the player who accumulated the most influence—by successfully balancing the pillars of society—emerges victorious. It's a strategic management game with a moderate weight that requires focus but maintains a dynamic pace thanks to the rapid decisions imposed by the cards. If you enjoy city-building games with a touch of politics and moral dilemmas, Rise is your next obsession!
