Wolkenbruch (2020)

Overview

Four flames are burning, and none may be permitted to go out. Can you and your friends stop the pouring rain together?

In the co-operative and challenging card game Wolkenbruch, your goal is to protect four burning flames from falling rain. The players win the game when all four flames are protected (with an umbrella, of course).

The game is controlled by a special deck of cards — the Wolkenbruch-Deck — and comes with ten different levels of difficulty. During the game, players take actions to move within the circle of flames, drive away rain, or use event cards. Players may also swap cards with one another.

Each player also has a special ability — a so-called profile — that gives the player additional special abilities. At the end of each turn, the active player must play a card from their hand. Afterwards, the Wolkenbruch-Deck brings more cards into play.

When the clouds break, all cards from the discard pile are put back on top of the Wolkenbruch-Deck and the rainfall increases. Time is running out. Be fast, communicate with each other, and pass cards to protect the flames!
