GRUNN: Pioniers in de Provincie ("Grunn: Pioneers in the Province") is a game in which 1 to 6 players create their own version of the northern province of Groningen, Netherlands. Gameplay is family-friendy, and about optimizing the puzzle, as each type of landscape tile scores victory points in different ways. You develop a landscape by turning over a tile, which generates income and offers the opportunity to construct buildings for even more victory points.
While the game mainly aims to entertain, the types of landscape and their development are grounded in history. GRUNN is the name of the province in the local dialect (in spoken language).
The game will be available in retail selectively, and at 31 participating museums throughout the province of Groningen, which each offer a unique scenario card that expands the gameplay with a fun extra twist. The scenarios are often linked to the museum in question and its location within the landscape. The game can be played with one scenario card, or with multiple cards simultaneously, provided they are different colors. (Scenario cards of the same color cannot be used during the same game.)
