Lumicora ^ MAY 2024

In the oceans around the equator, a beautiful habitat shines with bright colors. Coral reefs are underwater ecosystems and are home to many species. However, as a result of global warming, reefs have been declining massively in recent decades and it is up to us to protect them to keep them alive!

In Lumicora players gather colorful coral tiles and use them to construct new reefs that grow in all directions. They need to stack their coral tiles strategically and also consider the sea creatures that live in the reef. Limestone serves as the foundation of their reef, so it’s important to ensure that there’s always enough limestone available. The game lasts for 10 rounds. At the end of each round, players can score points for a single type of coral.

Lumicora is a fascinating three-dimensional tile-laying game that relies on clever planning and timing. Alternative backs with new challenges increase the replay value even more.
