Relight My Fires | Dawnmaker (City-Builder Deck-Builder Game - Demo)

Dawnmaker is a deck-building city-builder game where our goal is to relight some ancient lighthouses in order to cast away an evil dark toxic smog that has engulfed the land! Oh and the smog might possibly be alive, because it chooses when to attack and also has a sort of scary skull face, so that's nice.
We begin with just one building on a lovely hex tile but soon enough we have a few hex tiles we can build on. We have a few basic cards to play that give us materials to build with and research to help us refresh our list of potential things we can build.
The essential thing we need to fight back the smog is a resource called Luminoil which we can grow in farms, but some of our buildings use Luminoil and also the smog drains it away so we have to make sure we always have enough because if we run out it's game over!
The range of things we can build is quite large, going from simple things like silos and farms all the way through to more interesting buildings like transmutation workshops and granaries. Each building gives us new cards or new abilities to help us along the way.
But our ultimate goal is to light the lighthouses using something called Eclairium, which seems to be in quite short supply, so we have to hold off the smog long enough to collect enough of it...
NOTE: This is the demo version of the game.

Thanks a lot for playing Dawnmaker, and also thank you for your excitement while playing, it was a real joy to watch! ❤

[@johnchance7836]

This feels like a rural builder rather than a city builder as you always seem to be chasing after more fields, silos, barns, and other agricultural buildings to keep ahead of the smog. lol

Why did you get rid of the loot the surroundings card when you never once used experiment for science points and it was in your hand?

[@TheGeekCupboard]

Dunno really, either card wasn't great, I don't think it had any great impact on the game!
