ZENITH: Skyline in sight!

Post by DrClick »

Image

After the massive success of Playpunk's first game (Captain Flip), let's discover Zenith by Gregory Grard and Mathieu Roussel, illustrated by Naïade.
 
This is a 2 player game, where the goal is to gain control over 5 planets in the solar system using a tug-of-war mechanism.
To win, you need either 3 tokens of the same planet, 4 different planets, or 5 tokens in total.
 
On your turn, you have 3 possible actions by playing a card. You can either use it for its effects and to advance on the tug-of-war track of the planet matching the card’s color, use it to collect resources, or progress on the technology tree.
It is incredibly efficient, and although complex this time, it remains very accessible in terms of rules, promising a solid progression curve with the game's 90 different cards!

Let's thank the PlayPunk team and the game designer duo, Grégory Grard & Mathieu Roussel, for their authorization to bring the game on our platform!
Also, we need to mention the work done by Moof to develop this game for Board Game Arena, and to send some kudos for his achievement.
 
That's all for this Monday, which is off to a great start,
We'll see you on Wednesday for the next release, but until then, take care and play fair!

Really look like a game I like. Really enjoyed my first two games.

It just seem lacking of an option to use our turn to change our hand.
Maybe that would make the leader token too good, or maybe there is enough option already to not need that option.

I will see :)

nice game, it looks like a pretty solid tug-of-the-line game for 2 people with a delayed start, it's a bit hard to try but it works.

I just made an instructional video in Polish

If you discard to take the leader, you will see at least 2 if not 3 cards

Still, that only delay the inevitable in many cases.
You gain +2 cards immediately, but as soon as you lose the leader, it became a +1 (which is the same than just playing the card).
Unless that draw make you discard something else or things like that.

But that at least let you discard one bad card. At the cost of losing one influence.
