Foundations of Metropolis (2024)

About this game

In Foundations of Metropolis, players will compete over three rounds to be the greatest architect in the city by purchasing deeds to empty lots and constructing new buildings on them. More complex buildings require more lots, but will bring you even greater prestige. The player with the most prestige will be appointed Grand Architect! Gameplay is the same in this standalone game as in Foundations of Rome, but with polyomino pieces and a brand new theme. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
