New York (1995)

About this game

An elaborately expanded version of Property, a poker-chip and deck-of-cards game from Sid Sackson's book A Gamut of Games. The previous object to avoid bankrupty changed to obtain as large a group of contiguous buildings as possible in the New York cityscape. Players score two points for each building in this group, one point for each building outside the group and one point for each leftover money token.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
