Gameplay
As with all human activities, progress comes with a price. The further in the game the players get, the more difficult it becomes. Will they try to multiply their personal wealth or rather work for the public good? Will they exploit the coal deposits and gamble with the climate change? Or maybe they will play it “green”?
New Shores is a game about experimenting with different strategies while negotiating, cooperating or competing with other players who are not always sympathetic to your cause.
