Heart of Venice is a roll-and-write game for all the puzzle-lovers. Each turn, you draw a waterway and a house according to the dice, then the river runs! The rivers, or numbers, fill the port as the game continues and allow you to unlock powerful skills. Fill the port with JUST-RIGHT numbers, connect houses, distribute numbers wisely, and the victory is on your way! This game spotlights a Japanese traditional game: amidakuji, in which you have several vertical lines to pick from, and navigate from the top to the bottom while following horizontal lines connecting the vertical ones. Traditionally it's played similarly to Plinko, but in this game you are building it! Take the risk, but plan carefully. Glory of this great city is on your shoulders! The heart of Venice is certainly beating. —description from the designer
