Magnate The First City

In Magnate The First City you step into the world of building and land. The city grows, prices rise and opportunities pop up everywhere. You buy land, put up buildings and try to bring in the right tenants. Homes, offices, shops and industry: every tenant has its own wishes. If you lay out your neighbourhoods cleverly, the rent comes rolling in. But watch out, because the boom does not last forever. Somewhere the crash is waiting, and it can make your property worth far less in one go. That is exactly what makes this game so exciting. You keep daring to go just a little further, but you do not want to be left empty handed when the market collapses. Timing is everything. At the table you feel the race with your fellow players. While you build your empire, they get in the way of your plans and you get in the way of theirs. Whether you play with five or take on the solo variant with AI cards, every game plays out a little differently. Expect about two hours of puzzling and weighing up your options. A real evening filler for fans of meaty strategy.
