About the game
Each player will interpret the role of a planetary architect who will try to create a new home for mankind, which by its mistakes, condemned the ancient Earth ... Simply you have to choose an action among the three possible (play a card to take all those of the same ecosystem, pick up the cards according to the numbers on the card played, or play it in your game zone). With this idea, NUEVOS MUNDOS is a challenge with a depth and elegance mechanics but with a very easy concept. When the universe board cannot be filled with cards, each world created by each player will be scored with a scoring system that simulates the harmony between ecosystems, animals and plants and conditions for life in the world. But be careful, the elements that don´t meet this balance will be penalized. —description from the publisher (translated) Cada jugador representa el papel de un arquitecto planetario que tratará de crear un nuevo hogar para una humanidad, que por sus errores, condenó la antigua Tierra... Con solo elegir una acción entre las tres disponibles (jugar una carta para coger todas las del mismo ecosistema, para coger las que comparten dígito o jugarla en tu zona de juego) NUEVOS MUNDOS supone un desafío con una profundidad y elegancia que no suele verse en juegos a priori tan sencillos. Cuando el tablero del universo no se pueda rellenar de cartas, se puntuará cada mundo creado por cada jugador con un sistema de puntuación que simula la armonía entre ecosistemas, fauna y flora y, sobre todo, condiciones para la vida en él. Pero cuidado, que los elementos que no cumplan este equilibrio penalizarán. —description from the publisher
