Skytopia: In the Circle of Time

Players control a floating city and recruit golems to construct soaring towers and other buildings over a series of rounds. Turns split into a building-placement phase, where completed structures are added to a personal city tableau and may trigger previously built cards, and a worker-placement phase, when golems are sent to sites to take actions. A gear-clock mechanism makes time a resource: faster construction raises immediate costs, while slower actions save resources. Players develop an engine of buildings, manage resources and guild influence, and score prestige based on completed towers and city development.
