What is New York 1901

Relive the dawn of modern New York City, the historic years that made it what it is today. Build bigger and higher skyscrapers on some of Lower Manhattan's most iconic streets. Raise one of four legendary skyscrapers — the Park Row, the Singer, the Metropolitan Life, or the majestic Woolworth — and make one of them the crown jewel of your real estate empire!

In New York 1901, the players are building skyscrapers on a map of New York's Financial District. Players take location cards from a card's display and then use 2-3 of those location cards to place Tetris-shaped building tiles on the board. They first build bronze level buildings. Later in the game those buildings can be replaced by silver level and gold level buildings.

[ESP] Reglas sencillas al estilo de Ticket to Ride pero de construir edificios. Puede ser una buena opción como gateway en lugar de los 3 clásicos de siempre.

Grinch 2018 present. Gourgeous edition. Finally tested with 2 players. Family game with more meat than I thought. Positioning of your workers and buildings, and the order you follow with your buildings, all is important. The majorities in the three streets are worth 15 points, and the special person card gives an extra condition to follow. All in all, there are a few things to optimize here, everything packed under quite simple rules, and with beautiful aesthetics. Update 19/11/06: Played with 3 players, the game gets better, I think. a bit more fight in the majorities and the placement.
