Hot on the tails of my recent, extremely ambitious declaration of Gaming Goals for 2025, I have played a game!
Right then, 8.33333% done.
Cellulose – a science-based, plant biology-themed, resource management worker placement game.
I made it a priority to get played because it’s on my “possible cull” list. Unfortunately(?), I kind of liked it.
It’s hard to remember the last time I played an actual resource management worker placement game; I feel like there’s always something in a game design taking away from the purity of this now-classic formula.
While playing, I was reminded of Underwater Cities, a game I very much appreciate; however, Cellulose proved to be much more forgiving, and the resources flowed much easier here.
So here I am, hoping to have confirmed one for the trade/sell pile, but now I’m thinking I need to expore it more, to see if it has legs (which would be weird, because plants do not, and this is a scientifically accurate game).
