It is New York in the 1930’s. The building boom has reached its zenith.
Above all, the skyscrapers on the famous Fifth Avenue
tower over the city. But who will find the best building plots? Where are the fanciest boutiques and the choicest galleries?
Who has the most sought jeweler in his neighborhood? In the end, victory points (VP) will decide the winner!
OVERVIEW | OVERVIEW |
Each player tries to earn the most victory points (VP).To earn victory points is not as simple as building the most skyscrapers. Rather, players score victory points by building skyscrapers in prestigious locations: those with many different businesses nearby.Thus, players will compete to build as many skyscrapers as possible in the best locations.This is the key to victory!
The players are offered four options for each turn, including, for example, placing a business or scoring a district.They may also choose to take the very important bidding cards. Only players who have the right bidding cards will succeed in the auctions when they come. It is only during the auctions that players have the possibility to build skyscrapers - and without skyscrapers, there can be no victory.
The game requires careful planning, sharp tactics, timely cooperation with your opponents, and wise placement of skyscrapers to find success on Fifth Avenue!
In the end, the player with the most victory points will be the winner!
