Rebuild civilisation from the remnants of the old world in Life in Reterra, a city-building strategy board game where clever tile placement, community development as well as powerful building abilities help you create the most prosperous settlement. Nature has reclaimed the planet but humanity is ready to start again with whatever resources remain.
 
Begin with a small patch of land, then expand your community by drafting tiles from your hand or the shared display. Each land tile contains four spaces featuring different terrain types, with some spaces also containing gears or valuable relics. Build your settlement outward until your community reaches its maximum 4x4 size.
 
Gears unlock important choices. Use them to place inhabitants from the reserve or construct specialised buildings within your community. Buildings must be supported by gears positioned on matching terrain, making spatial planning essential when deciding where each new tile belongs.
 
Once a building is constructed, its associated card gives you a special power that can be activated on future turns. These abilities can provide extra inhabitants, create valuable relics, disrupt an opponent’s scoring opportunities or reward carefully developed areas of your community.
 
Choose from themed building sets or create your own combination for greater variety across repeated games. As your settlement grows, consider how each terrain type connects while planning towards the scoring opportunities that best suit your strategy.
 
When every player has built 16 land tiles, final scoring begins. Earn points for large terrain groups, enclosed energy sources, inhabitants, relics and constructed buildings. The community with the strongest combination of development, efficiency along with strategic planning claims victory.
 
With accessible tile placement, city building and engine-style abilities, Life in Reterra is an engaging strategy board game for families and friends who enjoy creating their own evolving settlements.
