About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey gamers, check out this cool addition for Underwater Cities! This promo, the Biodome, is here to give your underwater city an extra boost. Essentially, you get a new card and a green dome token. The trick is, if you're the first to connect three cities in your network, you can swap your starting city for this green wonder. And the best part? This special city doesn't need kelp for production, which can ease up your resource management and help you optimize your moves. It's a small addition, but it can change the game's tempo, especially for those seeking a strategic edge or simply wanting to see something new in their underwater metropolis. The text on the card is minimal, so the language barrier is practically non-existent, which is great for ensuring everyone can enjoy this novelty without hassle. This little expansion is perfect for those who already master the base game and want to add a surprise element that can turn the tide in their favor. If you enjoy Underwater Cities and want to mix things up, this promo is a real find!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Does this promo significantly change the base game?

Do I need to know English to use this card?
No! The text is minimal and easy to understand, even without fluency.
Is this card hard to get?
It was originally given out at an event, but you might find it included in some versions of the game or as a separate item.
What's the main advantage of the Biodome?
It frees you from the need for kelp for production, which can significantly optimize your production chain.
Is this promo for solo players?
The main mechanic is for multiplayer, but it can be used in any game of Underwater Cities.
Is it an expansion or just a card?
It's a promotional card that adds an element to the base game, not a full expansion.
