Positano: Architects of Dreams on the Cliffs of the Mediterranean

Get ready for an unforgettable journey to the heart of sunny Positano!  

On this Italian coast, where rugged cliffs meet the azure waves, and brightly colored houses appear to hang on the edge of the world, you have the opportunity to create something truly magnificent.

You are a bold builder, an architect, an adventurer, ready to conquer these majestic cliffs and leave your mark on their storied history. In this idyllic paradise, the sky and sea merge on the horizon, and the air is infused with the spirit of beauty, dreams, and ambition. Your buildings won’t just be structures—they will be artistic masterpieces, each corner reflecting your skill, creativity, and talent. 

But beware!

You are not the only one with dreams of greatness. Around you, fellow passionate creators are eager to challenge you and claim the best spots for themselves. Only those who show sharp wit, perfect timing, and the ability to sense the perfect opportunity will be able to claim the prime locations with breathtaking sea views.

Will you risk everything for one spectacular spot, or will you play it safe and wait for the right moment to strike?

The game is full of twists and turns, where each decision can push you closer to success or pull you back into competition. Every choice, big or small, will determine whether you will leave your legacy as the architect of the finest resort or fade into the shadows.

A Guide to Creating a Legendary Resort

• Everything at Stake! (BID)

Each round feels like a fresh breeze of the sea: exciting, full of anticipation, and teeming with hidden tension. As the auction begins, choose your bidding cards—one main and one secondary—and reveal them simultaneously with your opponents. Your mission is to decide when to deploy your strongest cards to secure the best locations and resources. Should you put all your energy into one key spot, or save your trump cards for a final decisive round? Every move is vital, and the more you risk, the greater the reward. Will you master the art of timing and outsmart your rivals?

• Gather Your Resources! (DRAFT)

Winning a bid grants you valuable construction tiles, which determine where your buildings will rise on the cliffs. With each new tile, your dream of creating a stunning resort comes closer to reality. But the stakes are high—will you manage to secure the most prestigious spots with spectacular views of the sea, or will you be left with more modest plots and have to adapt your strategy? Each round brings an element of randomness, transforming each decision into a delicate balancing act. How will you juggle your resources to achieve your goals, while still navigating the shifting strategies of your opponents? Every tile you place shapes your path toward victory.

• Building a Masterpiece! (BUILD)

This is where your architectural vision truly takes shape. Like an ancient architect, you will craft your resorts from blocks and tiles, each piece adding height and character to your creations. The goal is not just to build high but to ensure your resort enjoys the best views, as that’s where the real points lie. Building closer to the cliff base may give you protection from other players blocking your construction, but higher levels offer unmatched panoramic vistas that lead to greater rewards. Every space must be used wisely—this is your chance to create a resort that reflects both your skill and your strategic foresight.

• Points and Rewards! (SCORE) 

In this phase, everything you've built will come to life. Your score will depend not just on the height and view of your buildings but also on bonuses you receive for completing special objectives—some random, others based on your strategic choices. Three key objectives will guide you throughout the game, encouraging you to try different tactics and explore new opportunities. No two games are the same, and every choice you make has the potential to lead to either a hard-won victory or a bitter defeat. And even if luck is not on your side with the tiles, every player receives a consolation prize—delicious ice cream! In Positano, losing can still be sweet!

Solo Mode: Face Off Against Master Otto

Want to test your abilities alone?

Meet Otto Amalfi, the mysterious virtual opponent. Like any true Italian, he’s always ready to compete for the title of the best architect. His moves might appear random, but every round presents a chance for you to show your skills. To beat Otto, you’ll need to carefully plan each step, anticipating his every move and ensuring your strategies stay one step ahead.

Outsmart him, and the title of the top resort architect will belong to you!
