FOUNDERS

In the midst of a windswept, snowy landscape, a group of explorers discover a gigantic cave with a massive structure that radiates out from it. Around this Hearth, the Master Founders lay the foundation for what will become The City, home to the powerful Guilds of I C E! Following the directives of the first Founders' Council on the Design of the City, as well as the Requests of the first Guilds, you will design and create this famous City from scratch! Founders is a strategic and innovative game of tile placement where each player is in a hidden alliance with 2 other players they don't know. Each player has two design objectives. You must arrange your tiles to achieve objectives, help you hidden allies, but avoiding giving too much information to your opponents. There is a cooperative scoring system, but only 1 player can win. —description from the publisher
