It is New York in the 1930's. The building boom has reached its zenith.
Above all, the skyscrapers on the famous Fifth Avenue
tower over the city. But who will find the best building plots?
Where are the fanciest boutiques and the choicest galleries?
Who has the most sought jeweler in his neighborhood?
In the end, victory points (VP) will decide the winner!
OVERVIEW
Each player tries to earn the most victory points (VP).To earn victory points is
not as simple as building the most skyscrapers. Rather, players score victory
points by building skyscrapers in prestigious locations: those with many different
businesses nearby.Thus, players will compete to build as many skyscrapers as
possible in the best locations.This is the key to victory!
The players are offered four options for each turn, including, for example, placing
a business or scoring a district.They may also choose to take the very important
bidding cards. Only players who have the right bidding cards will succeed in the
auctions when they come. It is only during the auctions that players have the
possibility to build skyscrapers - and without skyscrapers, there can be no victory.
The game requires careful planning, sharp tactics, timely cooperation with your
opponents, and wise placement of skyscrapers to find success on Fifth Avenue!
In the end, the player with the most victory points will be the winner!
