Z-Man Games Announces ‘Lowlands’

Feb 13, 2018

Z-Man Games has announced a new title on the horizon, Lowlands. From what I’ve seen, there’s a bit of an Agricola vibe to the proceedings. Strangely there’s quite a bit of information about this new farming game yet nothing about number of players, release date, or MSRP.

Z-Man Games is happy to announce the upcoming release of Lowlands, a game of farm-building with varying agendas on the coast of the North Sea!

The low land is a rough area where hard-working folk make a living by the sweat of their brow. Under constant threat of storm and flood, communities here rally together to build dikes that keep the rising water at bay. But every citizen constructing a dike is one fewer citizen tending flocks and maintaining the family farm. The residents here are constantly torn between selflessness and self-interest, and only those who can strike this delicate balance can thrive in this harsh landscape.

In Lowlands, you carve your farm out of this unforgiving land, gathering and spending resource cards to transform your farmyard into pastures that allow you to profit from breeding sheep. Adding expansions to your farm will unlock new options and score you victory points, but helping to build the dike that collectively protects all players is also rewarded. No matter what, the tide will rise and, if the dike isn’t high enough, it could rush in and sweep away your hard-earned profits. Will you sacrifice your own farm for the good of the community, or will you pursue your own agenda? The choice is yours.
