1906 San Francisco (2018)

About this game

Early morning, 18th April 1906, the city of San Francisco awakes shaken by a massive earthquake of magnitude 8.6 on the Richter scale and by a huge fire that started afterwards. Even today, it is still classed as one of the worst natural disasters in the USA. In 1906 San Francisco, you are a property developer for the rapid reconstruction of San Francisco during the five years after the large-scale destruction. Get plots of land and earn money for rubble removal so that you can construct buildings, plan urban development for essential services, and improve the city for its modernization.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 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.
