The verdict
A chill Banished-meets-Civ city builder with a rare, well-liked co-op mode and a card-based build system. Skip it if you want strong AI, combat, steady updates or a finished game.
Great for
Friends or couples wanting a relaxed co-op city builder with economy and supply chains
Main risk
Shallow AI, combat and late game, plus slow updates after years in Early Access

“Pretty early on in the game they give you the ability to copy/paste buildings that are available so once you have one of a building you don't need to have a card for it again”
