In this elegant and intuitive city-building board game, designed by the award-winning Emerson Matsuuchi, you will create the city of your dreams.

More complex buildings require more lots, but will bring you even greater prestige. The player with the most prestige is appointed Grand Architect!

On a player?s turn they select from purchasing a new lot, building a new building in the shared city, or collecting income!

Players collect points at the end of each round based on the population and commerce they have brought to the city as well as gaining glory for civic buildings that score not only based on their own buildings, but those of their opponents!
