In Rise, players seek to develop a city on both an economic and social level, all while nurturing the well-being of the citizens. The game features 10 unique double-sided tracks that indicate the advancement of the city. Players can combo their moves as they progress on each track, and the game has a unique card-action-selection mechanic. This game also has variable setup, which allows for over 1,000 different combinations of challenges.

Rise is for two to four players, plays in 60 to 90 minutes, and will retail for $54.95.

Capstone Games will also release Ark Nova: Zoo Map Pack 1, a new mini-expansion, into retail (see "'Ark Nova: Zoo Map Pack 1' Mini-Expansion").
