About the game
Get ready to hear the jingle of coins in Casinopolis! In this fast-paced and addictive game, you and your friends (or just yourself!) will build a casino city worthy of Las Vegas. Each player takes on the role of a lucky urban planner, placing cards to expand the map and create the biggest and most profitable entertainment district.

The goal is simple: create large groups of casinos of the same color, align jackpot icons along roads, and fulfill three secret objectives that award bonus points. The cards are the heart of the game, with one side showing the blocks for building and the other revealing the scoring conditions. You'll need to manage your hand well and strategically decide where to place each piece to maximize your winnings. Roads can cost points, but connecting them might be the key to victory, as well as the lucky symbols that can yield a fortune!

Casinopolis is a cooperative (or solo!) game where everyone works together to overcome the challenge. With only 18 double-sided cards, the game is incredibly portable and quick to play, perfect for taking anywhere. It's a standalone entry in the popular Sprawlopolis series, bringing the same city-building vibe but with a casino twist and some new features that will leave you wanting more.

Can you build the ultimate gambler's paradise and beat the target score? The dice are rolled, and the fun is guaranteed!
