## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to supercharge your Sprawlopolis series games? Ultimopolis is that special 6-card pack that arrives to mix the best of Sprawlopolis, Agropolis, and Naturopolis into a brand-new cooperative experience. Forget card passing, because things are different here! Each player shuffles their individual game decks, reveals one card from each to set 3 scoring goals, and then a card drawn from Ultimopolis itself reveals the 4th and final scoring condition. A special card serves as the starting tile for your city, showing the blocks you'll be using. On your turn, you draw one card from each base game deck and choose one to play, discarding the other two. This way, everything flows at the same pace. The game ends when the last three cards are played or discarded. Final scoring comes from your largest block group from each city, with a penalty for each road built and the bonuses (or penalties!) from the 4 scoring cards. It's a quick and clever way to enjoy the Sprawlopolis universe with an extra dash of challenge and cooperation, perfect for those who already enjoy the series and want something new without the hassle.
