Lead the Netherlands into the Industrial Age in the latest version of the cooperative classic! It is the dawn of the Industrial Age in the Netherlands. For centuries, the country has relied upon a series of dikes and wind-powered pumps to keep it safe from the constant threat of flooding from the North Sea. But this system is no longer enough.

My wife and I really like this one. It adds interesting new elements (water pumps, dikes), has a beautiful design, and is perhaps more challenging than the original one or Iberia.

Good alternative to Pandemic. Water flowing is a hilarious theme with good mechanical integration. I don't want to own it, but I'll play it any day. I just really like being a civil engineer trying to save a country from flooding, and failing because my opponent is the ocean. The connection between theme and mechanics is honestly one of the best I've ever seen in a game. The art is beautiful. All failures feel like "my fault," and while there are some luck issues, this game does a good job of making you feel responsible for this tiny little country.

This was obviously another game in the pandemic system so not much different on that front. However in this one you will be focusing on building more infrastructure like windmill pumps and dikes to prevent the flow of the water. The water flow adds some interesting decisions as removing water cubes doesn't help as they come right back. Instead you need to block the water in the first place to be able to move it and add pumps to help you get the water out for no actions. The difficulty is higher than the original and there are some setups that fail immediately at the start of the game due to existing water in purple territories and having to apply 3 more damage to multiple purple cards. I get that it's supposed to start off with a challenge but it's unfortunate that the game can end in turn one due to random setup when they could have added a rule that if you draw multiple purple during setup to ignore the third. All in all its different enough that I owe multiple but that difference might not be big enough for most people.
