    I wanted something that was a trimmed back Dominant Species. This is, perhaps, a little too trimmed back - almost to being an abstract strategy game. But it is good. Not nice, but good.

    I enjoy area control games, specially the euroish style of area control games and Tammany Hall is a very unique piece in this category. This is enough just to win some rating, sum that to a very great and beautifully designed game, you have Tammany Hall. In this game we control chiefs of influence all over New York and spread our influence over the immigrants from 4 nations that come to live in New York. It is a great game with a good artwork.

    Kickstarted. We played this once and it really didn't work for me. I don't want to trade it yet because it feels at least partially the situation and experience of that one play. I was locked in a pretty solid 3rd, with 4th spending a lot of time whining and complaining, only to repeatedly throw me under the bus before catapulting into a last-round win. The way scoring has to be balanced and role-selection works are both very nice aspects to this one. I think it would work better if your group is more diplomatic, but mine rarely seems to want to work that way, so maybe that's the failing point for this one.

"The way to have Power is to take it" – William "Boss" Tweed

Tammany Hall is a game of backstabbing, corruption, temporary alliances, and taking power at all costs. If you want to rule New York, you are going to need to play the city’s growing immigrant populations against one another. Help the immigrant groups who owe you political favors, call in those favors to slander your rivals, and win elections.

In Tammany Hall, players help immigrants settle in New York, collect political favors from those immigrant groups, send ward bosses into Manhattan to secure votes, and slander political opponents. An election is held at the end of every fourth year, and the player who uses his power base best will be elected mayor. The Mayor’s grip on the city is tenuous at best. After every election, the Mayor must pay off his political rivals by placing them in offices that they can wield to try to take control of the city. Every player is your friend, every player is your enemy.

Tammany Hall was the political machine that dominated New York City politics by organizing the immigrant populations. While the organization’s influence spanned from its founding in the 1790s to its collapse in the 1960s, this game is set in lower Manhattan roughly between 1850 and 1870 – the era of Boss Tweed.
