Who would've guessed that it would be the THEME that convinced Amy to try a solo game! Conservas is all about balancing your commercial fishery business (preserving seafood in cans) with the sustainability of the ocean marine life. You will need to achieve both types of goals to pass the 12 scenarios included in the game - and it won't be easy (they call it a challenging solo bag building game and they were not kidding around!)
Note: This is a pre-production prototype copy of the game. We have not rated this game as the rules and components are subject to change.

Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
