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!
