Aftershock: San Francisco & Venice

Rebuild the Ruins. Control the Future.

The world has been shaken by devastating mega-earthquakes. San Francisco and Venice lie in ruin, their landscapes fractured, their populations scattered. Now, in the wake of disaster, it's time to rebuild—and take control of what comes next.

In Aftershock: San Francisco & Venice, players take on the role of competing architects and strategists vying to reshape the cities. You'll spend resources to acquire powerful cards, build bridges, and repopulate districts. But beware—aftershocks can still occur, and area control is key. Use negotiation, strategic placement, and smart deal-making to outmaneuver your rivals and score the most influence in this high-stakes rebuilding effort.
