Square & Compass is a resource management game where your successes can have you the most popular architect in town, or left penniless at the drafting table. A worker placement games played over a series of rounds, for 2-5 players, and an average playtimes of 30 minutes per player. Games can be as short as 60 minutes, or as long as 150 minutes. Players use action tiles to harvest resources, hire and play technicians, process resources into building materials, and draft/play building contracts. The first player to successfully complete 7 building contracts ends the game. But there are a lot of different ways to play Square & Compass, from sustainability bonuses given when special resources are paid for contracts. Or special building combinations made when completing contract sets.
