About the game
What you do in a play session
The game plunges you straight into this fierce competition, where every attraction built is a step towards winning the hearts (and wallets) of your visitors. With action point mechanics, you'll need to plan your moves wisely, deciding where to invest your resources to create the most coveted park. The open drafting of cards gives you a peek into your opponents' plans, adding an extra layer of strategy and interaction. And of course, the cherry on top is set collection: assembling the right attractions to form the perfect combination of fun and profit is what will lead you to victory.
Featuring great artwork by Aaron Williams, creator of Nodwick, the game comes with everything you need to get started quickly: two decks of cards, wooden pieces, and a scoring board. In about 10 minutes, you'll be ready to build the park of your dreams and see who can attract more customers. It's a race to see who builds the most popular and profitable park, all in a light and fun game that won't take up your whole afternoon.
