Cool concept, and the card designs are really nice. It was fun trying out different strategies to try to get a higher score.

Cool concept, and the card designs are really nice. It was fun trying out different strategies to try to get a higher score.
I like the art style a lot and the concept!
Cool take on the theme, I like the card-based system for a resource management game. Some of the cards seemed to be way better then others for the purposes of getting a high score in only five moves, I think that a lot of the time-based (or even population gain) cards would have felt better if there was a way to increase the number of cards. I would love to try a version of this game where it ended with all three cities at 0, and see how long it took. The music and sound effects fit well with the game, and the general art design worked well. Overall an interesting game, and a cool take on the theme. Well done!
Good execution. I'd swap the spacebar / enter to continue for either a click or a click on an "end turn" button since the mouse is used all the time.
Not a bad card game, enjoyed it!
Very good game. I like the gameplay and visual. I'll wait for more games!
Very good game, I like the strategy aspect or either helping the cities or destroying them and the balance
Hmmmm... I'm conflicted. I'll start by saying I quite like the concept, and I found the art/design very accessible and was easily able to understand the intent/flow of the game. I got a high score of 11 a few times, and that felt good. I think the main feedback for me would be length of rounds. One of the card is "reduce population by 1 for 3 turns" - so I have to have played it by turn 2 for it matter. If you extended how many can be played, it would be super chill to just sit back and manage these cities. I think you've got something fun here, and that it just needs a little tweaking. Overall a nice entry, well done.
loved the gameplay, wish there was more! Great concept that can be expanded into a full card game! Awesome job.
Cool idea, just wish a round lasted a little longer to balance out the inherent randomness of the car draws a little. Maybe would be nice if I could expand towns in some way to other places or if there were cards that make the run longer. Different cards could also use different amounts of the time resource so that certain things like migration can be more worth it when going for a high score. My best run ended up being at a score of 15. Love the graphic design on the cards and cities by the way!
I saw the name and immediately clicked to play, super clever name! I made it my goal to try and destroy all the civilizations and this was the best I could do! soclose.png It's a fun game I just wish it was a bit longer!
This was a nice idea, although it feels a bit unbalanced. Some cards feel kinda useless.
I like the simplistic style, and the artwork is very nice.
