GREEN CITIES

INTRODUCTION
Each player controls a city. 
Each player tries to complete projects that will make their 
City more eco-friendly. 

OBJECTIVE
The player with the most Green points at the end of the game wins. 

END OF GAME
The game ends when any player has accumulated 25 or more 
Green Points worth of Projects in his City Pile. 

THE DECKS
There are 2 Common decks: 
The Project Deck
The Resource Deck

THE PROJECT DECK
These are the projects the players are trying to complete. 
Each project lists a specific set of Resource cards that must be 
Played to complete the project. 

RESOURCE DECK
There are 9 types of Resource cards:
1. Innovation
2. Transportation
3. Energy
4. Water
5. Robotics
6. Conservation
7. Biological
8. Legislation
9. Human Behavior
The Resource deck has 10 copies of each card. 

POLITICAL WILL TOKENS
Players share a set of Political Will Tokens (PW). 

SETUP & MAINTENANCE
Shuffle the decks. 
Each player is dealt 3 random Project cards. 
Each player gets 10 PW Tokens. 
The player with the smallest Carbon footprint goes first. 
Players keep their Project cards face up. 
The Top 12 cards of the Resource Deck are always kept face-up and 
Are spread out in order. 
The Top 3 cards of the Project Deck are always kept face-up and 
Are spread out in order. 
Always replenish the face-up cards as soon as they are consumed. 
If a deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 5 Phases: 
1. Political Will Phase
2. Resource Phase
3. Assignment Phase
4. Project Phase
5. Planning Phase

POLITICAL WILL PHASE
Each player gets 5 PW Tokens. 

RESOURCE PHASE
Take the top 3 cards of the Resource Deck and place them in the 
Center of the table: These cards are called the “Lot”. 
Players bid on the Lot starting with the current player. 
Each bid must be higher than the last.
Bidding Proceeds clockwise.  
The highest Bid wins (keeps) the entire Lot. 
The winner discards the PW Tokens he bid. 
Other players keep their Bids. 

ASSIGNMENT PHASE
The player that won the Lot must immediately assign the 
Resource cards to his Project cards. 
Resource cards are laid out next to their assigned Project card. 
Unused Resource cards are discarded. 

PROJECT PHASE
A Project is completed if it has all the Required Resource 
Cards attached to it. 
If a player completes a project, he puts it in his City pile.  
Discard the attached Resource cards once the project is completed. 
Each Project card has a Green Point value equal to the 
Number of resource cards required to complete it. 
Every time a player completes a Project, he gets to pick 1 new 
Project card from the top 3 cards of the Project deck. 

PLANNING PHASE
The current player may discard one of his projects 
(including all resources assigned to it) and replace it with a 
Face-up Project card from the deck.
