Atlantis Rising

Cosmic POrtal to avoid the flood

Save Atlantis - we need to build the Cosmic Portal from ten components in a cooperative effort before the island is completely flooded and win or lose together. You chose one of the six characters - Astrologer, Priest, Explorer, Scholar, Champion or Artificer - and play rounds of five phases: Place Atlantean, draw Misfortune, Produce, Attack of Athenians and construct Component. At the start of each round players can use special abilities or knowledge cards. Atlanteans are placed on island parts or on the Atlantean Navy, up to the maximum capacity of the chosen piece, and also together with other Atlanteans. Then each player draws a calamity card; necessary decisions can be discussed, the final decision rests with the active player. Atlanteans on flooded parts go back to your stock. To produce you take, depending on the location and number of your men, resources according to dice result or draw Knowledge cards or transform ore to Atlantium or get new Atlanteans or Mythical Energy. Atlanteans at the Navy remain for defense against Athenians; this attack is decided dice roll and Atlanteans in the Navy. If you have the necessary resources you can construct a component; this results in instant advantages. Within certain parameters other players can contribute resources. Atlantis Rising is worker placement game and a cooperative game, pure and simple, no hidden winners; it is not that easy to master, it depends a little on the roles that are in play; without the Champion it can be hard to hold off the Athenians. The degree of difficulty can be varied by the choice of Component cards.
