Story: Robots Seeking Utopia In a world after the extinction of humankind, autonomous robots wander the desolate land, dreaming of building their ideal city. Then, from a gear in a pile of rubble, they discover a "power to grant wishes" that even humankind hadn't noticed. "If we can create a powerful Great Clock with the power of this gear, we might be able to accelerate time and complete our ideal city…" The robots' story now begins. Game Overview Players draw Gear Cards from the deck and connect them in a "chain." Using the power of these gears, players can acquire Production Cards that give them an advantage in the game, and Clock Parts Cards essential for victory. Ultimately, the goal of the game is achieved by acquiring the City-Building Card. Strategy and Features There are many challenges to overcome. There are set rules for connecting the gears, and Calamity Cards appearing from the deck will hinder the player's progress. Deciding the order in which to acquire cards and when to use their effects is key to success. The game consists of three difficulty levels, and the story changes as you progress. Starting with the creation of an agricultural village, it progresses to an efficient smart city. What will they ultimately desire after accelerating time in this way? The answer is revealed in the text of the final City-Building Card. —description from the designer
