Conclave

After several generations, the ancient capital of underground gnomes must be moved due to human expansion. Brave explorers and their families are sent to found a new city in the largest and deepest stone hall of the Great Mountain. You and your friends will manage the construction of this new capital, which will become known as the great Gnomopolis! Gnomopolis is a fast and strategic game in which you have to combine city growth with population specialization. A near-endless combination of buildings and workers can create ingenious action systems and scoring mechanisms in a frantic race for victory. With a playing time of almost 45 minutes, one to four players must think wisely to build their own city and trade with neighbors. The game is played in turns, with each player drawing three gnomes (gnome meeples) from a cup. They can then use these gnomes to build buildings or perform actions. Actions can be a combination of specializing adults, hiring more gnomes, earning gold coins, building mechanical golems, or controlling the workforce in a district. As the city grows, more gnomes immigrate. At the end of the game, players count their points from coins and any workers working in buildings (be careful of unemployed gnomes!). The player with the most points is the winner!
