Es un juego del mismo autor que el mombasa o el skymines. Ambietando en un apagón en hong kong, los jugadores deben gestionar equipos para controlar secciones de la ciudad, cumplir objetivos. No hay rondas. Es una sucesión de turnos hasta que se dispara el final de la partida. Cada turno tiene 8 fases que completan todos los jugadores. Hay una gestión de pooles de cartas, un mercado de objetivos y muchos combos con las distintas cartas. Además incluye un modo campaña. Se tarda un poco en pillar, pero una vez que se pilla, la partida fluye bastante bien. Me lo acabé comprando el 01/04/25 por 15

Bit complicated to understand, and needs better components, a bit ugly game, but brain cracker eurogame.
