Aeris 2027

Aeris is a strategic deck-building game set in a vast industrial city shaped by steam, ambition and technological progress.

On their turn, players play up to one card from their deck to perform actions such as placing or increasing Resource dice, developing the city's four Districts, advancing on the Train, Shipping and Airship tracks, gaining money, drawing cards or improving their deck.

Five Resources — Food, Coal, Iron, Chemicals and Education: are represented by dice within the city's shared economy. Their values evolve during play, and developing a Resource may also create opportunities for your opponents.

After playing a card, the remaining cards in a player's hand can generate Exhaust effects, making every hand a choice between immediate actions and alternative benefits. Players may then purchase new cards from the display to strengthen their deck.

The game ends once at least 3 End Game Points have been triggered. An End Game Point is triggered whenever a player reaches the end of a Transport track or increases one of their District dice to 6.

Players score Victory Points from their development in the city, their positions on the Transport tracks and the cards in their deck. The player with the most Victory Points wins.

Aeris combines deck-building, dice-based resource management and tactical interaction in a shared industrial economy where every development can change the opportunities available to the whole table.
