Dawnmaker Digital Review

"For this review, I played Dawnmaker on iOS. It's a campaign game that is divided into a series of increasingly challenging missions. But the basics are that you start out with a small lighthouse, keeping the darkness at bay. Each round, you'll have 3 actions to play any cards from your hand or activate buildings. The cards will usually grant you one of the game's four resources: Science, Food, Industry, or Eclairium."

"You need food to keep your city running, as each time you cycle your deck or upgrade your lighthouse, your food needs increase. Industry will let you construct buildings, and science lets you activate buildings and (usually) game Eclairium. It's that last resource that lets you upgrade your lighthouse, which is the goal of the game."

"The basic turn structure is that you'll have a hand of 5 cards, most of which cost 1-2 action points to play. When you have enough industry points, you can construct a building from the market row into your city. The buildings will provide you with resources, new cards for your deck, or special actions."

Dawnmaker is a city-building and deck-building hybrid game available on Steam, iOS, and Android. Players start with a small lighthouse and progress through campaign missions by managing four resources: Science, Food, Industry, and Eclairium. Each round provides three actions to play cards or activate buildings. Food sustains the city and increases with deck cycling and lighthouse upgrades. Industry enables construction, Science activates buildings and generates Eclairium, while Eclairium upgrades the lighthouse—the primary objective. Players build from a rotating market row of available buildings, which provide resources, new cards, or special actions. Victory requires upgrading the lighthouse sufficiently before darkness consumes the city.
