You are the boss of a water-cleaning plant. Ready?
A huge pile of dirty water is waiting. You have 6 coins, a dice and up to three friends racing to clean their water faster than you.
- You’re the boss
- Roll & race
- Clean the water
The Wastewater Treatment Plant is a board game for 2 to 4 players aged 8 and above. You roll a dice, move around the board, buy equipment with your coins, take a permit, and finish eight cleaning stages in order. The first player to turn waste water into clean water wins.
7 reasons kids enjoy it
-
Reason 1Be the boss
You get to be an engineer
Nobody tells you what to do. You decide where to spend your coins and run the plant like a real environmental engineer.
-
Reason 2Dice
The dice
Every turn starts with a roll. Will you land on something you need, or take a bonus?
-
Reason 3Coins
Coins to count and spend
You start with 6 coins. Equipment and your permit cost coins, and a Quality Check square costs 2 more, so every coin matters.
-
Reason 4Surprises
Surprises on the board
Pass “Start” and earn 2 coins. Land on “Project Fund” and 6 coins land in your hand.
-
Reason 5The race
A race to the finish
Finish all the stages first and you win. Even a younger player can win, because the dice add plenty of luck.
-
Reason 6Look closer
A board full of things to spot
Treatment tanks, pipes, a road and a water tanker truck make the board feel like a tiny town. The box has a seahorse, a jellyfish and a clownfish too.
-
Reason 7Feel clever
You feel clever
Soon you are saying words like aeration, coagulation and disinfection. That feels brilliant at eight years old.
A tiny town to explore
Look closely at the board. How many of these can you find before your first turn?
- Treatment tanks
- A round clarifier
- Winding road
- Water tanker truck
- Scientists at work
- A little pond
Six big words you will learn
Say them at dinner and see who looks surprised. These are kid-sized meanings.
Screening
Catching the big things first with a screen.
Aeration
Pumping in air so helpful bacteria can break down waste.
Filtration
Using filters to catch tiny bits of dirt.
Coagulation
Making tiny particles clump into bigger ones that are easier to remove.
Chlorination
Using chlorine to help kill harmful germs.
Disinfection
Reducing harmful germs, with ozone or UV light. Treated wastewater is not automatically safe to drink.
Three ways to hook a friend on game one
- Start with the question. Ask, “Where do you think the water goes when we flush?” Then say, “Let’s find out.”
- Give out jobs (our idea, not a rule). One player counts the coins aloud. Another reads the explainer sheet when a stage is finished.
- Play one short round first. Read the rules together, then roll. The core rules are short enough to pick up in a few turns.
Roll for a mission
A silly challenge to do before your turn.
- Do a happy dance like the girl on the box.
- Explain the rules to the player on your left in one sentence.
- Say coagulation three times, as fast as you can.
- Give your treatment plant a funny name.
- Count your coins out loud, then guess how many you will have after your next purchase.
- Give the player on your right a high five.
Frequently asked questions
Is it too hard for an 8-year-old?
The box says 8+, and the core rules fit in a few lines: roll, move, buy materials, take a permit and finish the stages in order. The full rules are printed in the box, and our how-to-play guide lists every coin cost.
How many friends can play?
The printed rules say the game is designed for 2 to 4 players, so it suits a small birthday table or a family evening.
Will I like it?
Every child is different. The dice, coins and race to finish keep turns varied. If you prefer slow strategy games, remember that luck plays a big part here. Try one short game and see.
Is it only about learning?
No. It is a real board game with luck, a race and bonus coins. The learning comes along for the ride.
Can my parents play too?
Yes. It works well as a family game, with 2 to 4 players in total.
