Afluentes

  • Description

    Afluentes is a card game about creating water streams from the underground to the sea within four steps/cards:
    1- Groundwater;
    2- water spring;
    3- River;
    4-Sea.

    It would be that simple, if not for the environmental problem (red) cards, put by other players in our game, that stop the water flowing until they are solved, by laying a solution (green) cards with the right number over it.

    Each player have their own deck of forty cards.
    Every turn, a player uses five from a hand of eight cards,
    and chooses one of four actions to help him:
    "Documentary", a player may begin a water stream using a water card number 2 or 3;
    "At Work", a player may draw one extra card;
    "Reforestation", a player may draw one discarded card;
    "Wastage", a player makes everybody discard one to three cards, as he wishes.

    Afluentes means tributary rivers in portuguese, so when a player connects two water streams its points count double.

    Afluentes is a fast and light weight card game.

    It is a small print game available from Bico de Lacre, a publisher from Brazil.

    The box comes with:
    160 cards (mini-euro format, 66 x 42mm) divided into four equal decks
    4 action cards
    1 player aid with variants for Agrotoxics card and Final Phase
