Diluvium is an immersive strategy game where you lead a civilization seeking renewal after a cataclysm. In this game, which combines exploration, conquest, and resource management, you will colonize islands, develop your power, and compete with other peoples to dominate this new world. Accessible yet rich in decisions, Diluvium offers a "4X" experience (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) condensed into fast-paced and dynamic games.

How to play Diluvium?
Game Setup
Setup immediately establishes the strategic framework:
- Island tiles are arranged to form an archipelago to explore.
- Each player leads a civilization with its units and resources.
- Resource reserves are placed in the center.
The game is playable from 1 to 4 players, with even a scripted solo mode.
Gameplay outline
In turn, each player must choose one of four actions, without repeating the previous one:
- Explore: discover new islands and expand your territory
- Conquer: take control of strategic areas
- Exploit: gather resources to develop your civilization
- Fight: confront other players to dominate the board
These actions allow you to generate resources and especially gold, a key element for victory.
The game is characterized by:
- A fluid system with few actions but many choices
- A strategic constraint (do not repeat an action)
- Constant interaction between players
Each decision directly influences your development and that of others.
Win/Loss Condition
The game ends when a resource reserve is depleted.
- Players tally their wealth (mainly gold)
- The player with the most prosperous civilizationwins the game
Our Tips for Winning
-
Diversify your actions wisely
The constraint of not repeating an action forces you to plan your turns. Don't choose your actions randomly: anticipate the next turns to avoid getting stuck or being forced into an unhelpful action.
-
Don't neglect early-game exploration
Exploring quickly allows you to access more resources and strategic positions. A good territorial start often provides a lasting advantage over the rest of the game.
-
Optimize your resource management
You cannot accumulate resources indefinitely, which forces you to use them efficiently. Quickly transform them into concrete actions to avoid any loss and maximize your development.
