Underwater Cities – Digital – Coming to Steam…Sometime

Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games announced recently that their roll & write game, Rolling Realms, is coming to Steam soon, developed by Savant Games.

That’s all well and good, but I’m not really a roll & write fan, so this news didn’t excite me very much.

Until somebody actually went to the Savant Games web site and noticed that they are also developing…Underwater Cities!

Underwater Cities is a great city-building card game where you are using cards to build an underwater community of domed cities, using action selection and cards from your hand.

Designed by Vladimir Suchy with artwork by Uildrim and Milan Vavroň, it was published by Rio Grande Games in 2018.

I finally got it to the table last October and loved it so much that I played it twice.

Here’s a picture of the game in action just to whet your whistle, but you can see more of my thoughts (and pictures) in my New to Me – October 2022 post.

This game coming to Steam, especially if it has async multiplayer (and really, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t), would be a godsend and first day purchase for me.

There are only a few screenshots on the Steam page, but they are enough to entice me.

This thing went on my wishlist as soon as I found out about it!

No word yet on a release date (before or after Rolling Realms?) but I’ll keep an eye out on it.

It also reminds me that while I played the game twice in October, I haven’t played it since.

I should rectify that.

Anyway, two pieces of exciting news for your Saturday (after the previous Terraforming Mars post).

How’s your weekend going?
