Manhattan (1986)

About this game

Magnificent wooden game where you try to gain influence in Manhattan building the highest skyscraper. You roll two dice and move your two pawns so that you can build a new floor or a roof or you can place a street tile. If you can manage it that your building (higher) and the one of an opponent could merge you take over the building. Some additional rules make this a very nice 3D variant of ACQUIRE

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
