Chandigarh

In 1951 the famous architect Le Corbusier was commissioned to design a brand new capital for the Indian state of Punjab. That is how Chandigarh came to be. In this game you step into the shoes of a city planner who gets to build this modern city from the very first stone. Together with your fellow players you place buildings, make use of other people's constructions and always look for the best spot on the map. The city is a grid of four by four tiles, with streets and intersections that connect the districts. You move your architect across the intersections and build on empty spaces along the way. With an original card engine you choose projects that score you points as soon as their pattern appears in the city. Fill a whole district and you place an overseer there. Four specialists wait in the corners of the city. Build a building in their colour and you gain their special power for the rest of the game. One gives you extra points, another gives you handy advantages while playing. Whoever collects the most prestige points at the end wins. A game for two to four master builders, different every time.
