ABOUT THE GAME

Water is necessary for
I wonder where in the city it comes from.

``Waterworks!'' is a card-based strategy set in medieval Grudjonz where you set up a water supply system. Choose jobs from your hand, manage coins and influence, and build a water network on the map.

01

Cards become instructions to the city

The cards in your hand represent different jobs such as water sources, construction, site supervision, and permits. After choosing a card, specify the town's facilities and divisions, and reflect the instructions on the hand to the water supply facilities on the map.

02

City management doesn't end with just water supply

The official page guides you through securing resources and workers, researching technology, building wells and water pipes, as well as managing fires, requests from rulers, and influence. The creation of facilities to deliver water will spread to decisions throughout the city.

03

4 levels of difficulty and 10 achievements

The official page shows 4 levels of difficulty and 10 achievements, and shows the average session as "A few hours". Free HTML5 version including difficulty, achievements, and multi-turn city management.
