Chinatown
This is a negotiation game in the truest sense of the word. In it, players acquire ownership of sections of city blocks then place tiles, representing businesses, onto the block-sections. At the end of each turn, each tile you've laid gives you some sort of payout, but completed businesses (formed of three to six connected tiles of the same type) pay quite a bit better. All these resources are dealt to the players randomly, however, so players must trade to get matching businesses and adjacent locations.

What the community says about Chinatown
juegzao de negociación, corto y muy divertido.
Juego de negociación puro y duro... mucho, muy duras las negociaciones jeje Es extremadamente sencillo de reglas, y como punto flaco que depende bastante de la suerte... solares salen al azar, tipos de comercio también... Funciona entre 3-5 jugadores.
