Read the full game description

In Utopian Rummy players compete to draft more prosperous Jobs into their Society. Each Job added to a Society gives a special ability to use now and scores points for them at the end of the Age. Some Jobs add more cards to your hand (Hunters & Farmers), while other Jobs score large amounts of points (Elders & Story Tellers). The basic turn follows these three phases: 1. Explore (Draw) - View the top 2 cards of the Draw Deck and add 1 to your hand. 2. Expand (Play) - Each Job needs to be Initiated first by playing a set of 3 matching Jobs. 3. Decay (Discard) Utopian Rummy was designed to play fast, have many interesting decisions, and just be fun to play. Re-Implemented as: Plato 3000
