How to play: First, gather 2 to 4 players who are 8 years old or above. Each player becomes a Visionary and aims to build a part of the Neotopia city. The game takes about 30 to 60 minutes. As you play, place tiles on the three regions of the city board to complete the feature cards in your hand. Try to manage your cards well and place tiles strategically to finish multiple cards at once. Interaction with other players is important. You can use what they've built on their turns. Remember, the key to winning is balance. Don't ignore the less - developed regions. At the end of the game, your score will be calculated. Your two highest - scoring regions will be scored normally, but the lowest - scoring one will be tripled. Maintenance advice: Keep the game components, like tiles and cards, in a dry place to prevent damage. After each game, make sure to put all the pieces back in the box neatly for easy storage and future use.
