2212. Ginkgo Biloba, the oldest and strongest tree in the world, has become the symbol of a new method for building cities in symbiosis with nature. Humans have exhausted the resources that the Earth offered them, and humanity must now develop cities that maintain a delicate balance between resource production and consumption. However, habitable space is scarce, and mankind must now face the challenge of building ever upwards. To develop this new type of city, you will gather a team of experts around you, and try to become the best urban planner for Ginkgopolis.

This expansion enhances Troyes. The base game is required to play.

With this success, and especially motivated by the desire to play again, we are pleased to present these ladies of Troyes!

Built by the Romans during the fi rst century in Belgian Gaul, Tournay experienced most of its growth along the Scheldt river. Unfortunately, the river also contributed to its troubles, because in 881, the Normans traversed its watery path, and thereby easily captured the city.

That act of aggression stunted Tournay’s prosperity. This game invites you to participate in the reconstruction of the city, in order to establish a glorious era that will last for more than seven centuries. Help your district fl ourish by cleverly coordinating the work of the city’s three domains: military, religious, and civil. Certainly the prestige of your buildings will brighten the entire city!

In the year 1200, the foundation is laid for the cathedral of Troyes, but it will not be fi nished until four centuries later, after innumerable incidents.

This game invites you to experience four centuries of history by participating in the development of one of the fi nest medieval cities ever
to make its mark on Western culture.
