About Waterworks!

Waterworks! is a card-based strategy game set in medieval Grudziądz, where you're put in charge of the town's water supply. Every house needs enough water to get through, and you also have to stockpile what the town needs for new technologies.

Cards are your tools: you play them to send water to buildings, and you place your units where they work best. The deck is yours to trim, so you choose what stays and what goes. Resources and workers pile up as you play, and they pay for technologies that improve the town.

The pixel art keeps the medieval setting charming, and the game runs in English and Polish. A session can last a few hours. You can play Waterworks! online in your browser, and Waterworks! free of any download makes it easy to start managing a town.

What to Expect in Waterworks!

This is a thinking game with an economy at its core. Water has to reach every house, supplies have to flow, and the technologies you research change what you can do next. It's closer to a board game than to a quick arcade title.

It has a historical and educational streak, since it's set in a real medieval town. If you like management games, deck building and history, it fits. Plan for a long session, since it can stretch to a few hours.

Tips for Waterworks!

Check which houses still need water before you play your next card.
Be ruthless with your deck. Discarding weak cards makes the strong ones turn up more.
Put your workers where they do the most good, not where it's convenient.
Develop technologies early so they pay off over the whole session.
Play in whichever language you read more comfortably. The game offers both English and Polish.
