Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
AWS announced on September 15 that the Japanese version of AWS BuilderCards is available to order on Amazon, with the second edition scheduled for release on September 25. The turn-based deck-building game for 2 to 4 players was previously handed out in limited quantities at AWS study groups and events. Players buy Builder Cards representing AWS services and Well-Architected Cards worth 1 or 3 points, then total their scores.
The game is a turn-based deck-building card game for 2 to 4 players. Each player assembles an architecture from Builder Cards that represent AWS services, earning a resource called credits from the synergies between the services they acquire. Credits can be spent once per turn on either a new Builder Card or a Well-Architected Card, the scoring card, which comes in 1-point and 3-point versions. The game ends when the Well-Architected Cards in play run out, and the highest total wins; ties go to the player holding more Builder Cards.
