What is Capital Rising
In a time where city-states and corporations rule the world, you have been chosen to lead. As mayor, strategically deploy your workforce and companies to exploit resources and grow your capital. But beware: only the one to outsmart the competition can build the most influential city.
This is a area control, resource collection and city-building game that is all about pure strategy and tactics. There are no random factors, luck, or hidden information (unless you use optional variants). Your skill in accumulating victory points will determine the winner.
