Atlantis Rising (Second Edition)

Players cooperate as citizens of a sinking island, assigning workers to locations to collect resources and construct a cosmic escape gate before the land is lost. Workers placed nearer the shore yield greater rewards but risk being flooded and removed by misfortune cards that progressively submerge shoreline tiles. Each turn players draw a misfortune that floods locations or triggers other setbacks, then take worker-placement actions to gather materials, power gate components, research knowledge, and use expanded councilor powers. Built gate components become new action spaces, and an end-of-round flooding phase forces the group to balance high-reward placements with long-term survival while racing against the shrinking map.

#bgstats 1st Impressions: Bias Alert — I don't do Co-ops too much! I tried this because it was so pretty... and that was the best part of the game for me. The art, components, board, everything was fantastic, inviting and added to the theme and the believability. If you are like me and don't care like co-ops because of long discussions over what to do next, then this game won't change anything. Another significant problem I had with the game is that it features one of my other top-hated mechanisms — roll to resolve. If I was not co-op averse, the rating would be higher, but not a lot because the roll to resolve.
