Raising Chicago

Chicago, mid nineteenth century. The city lies so low beside Lake Michigan that water keeps pooling and causing trouble everywhere. The city council's solution is surprising: lift the buildings up and lay a new sewer system underneath. In Raising Chicago you jump into that adventure as an entrepreneur and try to land the best contracts. Each turn you take on a building project. But be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. If you run out of wood, masonry or jacks, the job fails and your standing with the city drops. Place your buildings wisely, meet the wishes of the city council and make sure you finish the most projects in every district. That is how you grow into the city's most respected builder. This is a meaty game about building and trading, made together with German publisher Spielworxx. You can feel the attention to quality and the depth that makes you want to play again and again. Perfect for a long evening where everyone at the table wants to win.
