Brink

**Brink: Your Chance to Dominate Space** In a universe where survival is the key to victory, Brink stands out as a unique experience for strategy game enthusiasts. In this worker placement game, every decision you make will shape your path to power and influence. Through a balanced combination of negotiation and secret voting, you immerse yourself in a dynamic world where alliances can form and crumble in an instant. Each turn, you will have the opportunity to position one of your three ships, each representing a worker of a different size, on a grid of hexes. Each hex you occupy not only provides you with valuable resources, but also the chance to increase your power within the factions that emerge in this tense game. The real challenge lies in when and how to vote to ensure that the right faction gets the points, making your strategy not only a matter of strength, but also of persuasion and understanding the dynamics between the players. Throughout the game, you'll be able to upgrade your ships and hire ambassadors, exploring new areas of the map with each match. This exploration reveals new resources and challenges, creating an ever-changing environment that requires adaptation and creativity. Remember, strategies that worked in one match may not be as effective in the next. So if you're always one step ahead, you can accumulate prestige points that are essential for victory. Brink promises exciting and thrilling moments, where each player will have the chance to shape the fate of the universe. Get ready for an experience where negotiating skills and strategic thinking are key. At the end of three intense rounds, only the most astute player will emerge victorious.

OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

The main objective of the game Brink is to promote intense combat between two factions, the Security and the Resistance, in the floating city of Ark, which is suffering from social and political instability. Set in a dystopian future, players must complete specific missions for their team, using customizable skills and a fluid movement system called SMART (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain), which allows for acrobatics across the scenery. I remember when I played it for the first time and was fascinated by how the game encouraged team cooperation and strategy, something that was rare in shooters at the time.
