In a world where steam and gears reign supreme, the tranquility of the cities is threatened by the arrival of a Mechanical Giant. Its origin and motivations are a mystery, but driven by an inexhaustible energy, this colossus of metal sows chaos in its wake, leaving behind ruins and hearts filled with fear. Faced with this unprecedented challenge, three brave heroes of diverse skills and origins unite with a common goal: to stop the unstoppable machine of destruction. Together, they must face unimaginable dangers, test their wits, and risk everything to protect humanity and restore hope. The fate of all now depends on the courage and determination of these three heroes. Game Development: The game consists of resolving: 1) the Giant cards, 2) the Heroes' rondels, and 3) the City cards. These mechanics are explained in detail later, but it is most important to understand this sequence. If the Giant cards run out, it is considered that the Giant has reached the City. From then on, the sequence is: 1) The City receives 2 points of damage, 2) The rondels are resolved, and 3) The City mechanics are resolved. This continues until the Giant is defeated or destroys the City.

Unidos, deben enfrentar peligros inimaginables, poner a prueba su ingenio y arriesgarlo todo para proteger a la humanidad y restaurar la esperanza.
