Foundations of Metropolis

In Foundations of Metropolis, players will compete over three rounds to be the greatest architect in the city by purchasing deeds to empty lots and constructing new buildings on them. More complex buildings require more lots, but will bring you even greater prestige. The player with the most prestige will be appointed Grand Architect! Gameplay is the same in this standalone game as in Foundations of Rome, but with polyomino pieces and a brand new theme. You must carefully manage your acquisitions to secure the best spots on the board, allowing you to piece together increasingly impressive structures that dominate the skyline. Every decision impacts your growth as you balance the need for immediate prestige with the long-term goal of constructing the most intricate architectural marvels in the city. Whether you are a fan of the original system or new to city-building puzzles, this game offers a rewarding and tactile experience as your metropolis comes to life across the grid.
