  1. 6 out of 10

    I'm not a big fan of these sorts of games due to the lack of clear rules. Sure, the framework is there, but the REAL strategizing comes down to the negotiating phase...and that's a free-for all! You can throw in whatever you want, including future promises and the strong-arming of others, and putting a value on all those things is a brain pain for me. Still, it IS fun to wrangle your way between all those subjective details sometimes!

    Fine negotiation game. Reminds me a bit of Game of 49. Seems like if you can get the stuff for a big 6 building right away you'll just run away with it.

  3. 7 out of 10

    This game does negotiation very well, and if you have the right group you'll have a blast. However, it's certainly not for everyone and it does feel a bit samey.

This is a negotiation game in the truest sense of the word. In it, players acquire ownership of sections of city blocks then place tiles, representing businesses, onto the block-sections. At the end of each turn, each tile you’ve laid gives you some sort of payout, but completed businesses (formed of three to six connected tiles of the same type) pay quite a bit better. All these resources are dealt to the players randomly, however, so players must trade to get matching businesses and adjacent locations.

This game is #2 in the Alea big box series.
