CORE BOARD GAMES
In the Netherlands, dealing with water is a way of life. The Dutch have long used their ingenuity to create elaborate systems of dikes, dams, and floodgates to provide flood protection and create additional land for agriculture. But in a country where just a little rain can raise the water to dangerous levels, the failure of a single dike can send water spilling across the lowlands, destroying crops and displacing the population. In Pandemic: Rising Tide, containing the water that threatens to consume the countryside is your greatest challenge. Water levels in a region are represented by cubes and, as the water containment systems currently in place begin to fail, more water cubes are added to the board. With water levels constantly on the rise, failure to maintain the containment system could quickly lead to water spilling across the board. Despite being effective for years, the methods of the past are no longer enough to keep the country safe. You will need to construct four massive hydraulic structures if you want to cement your legacy. These projects are massive undertakings that, when taken together, are heralded as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World! This means that constructing one not only brings you closer to winning the game, but also grants you an immediate benefit. One of the most impressive of these is the Deltawerken. Completed in 1997, this elaborate system of dams, sluices, locks, dikes, levees, and storm surge barriers actually shorten the Dutch coastline to protect the country from the rising seas.
