## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to get your hands dirty and build a city from the ground up? In Chandigarh, you step into the shoes of visionary urban planners, tasked with bringing the planned capital of Punjab to life, inspired by the work of master Le Corbusier. The city unfolds on a 4x4 modular board, where each sector has its plots and streets intersect at strategic junctions. Your goal is to fulfill the patterns of projects you choose, placing buildings and taking advantage of your fellow planners' constructions. You start with an architect at a junction and project cards that dictate your plans and movement. On each turn, you can move your architect around the city, stopping at junctions to place your buildings on empty plots adjacent to streets. Completing a sector gives you a chance to place a supervisor. But that's not all! You can grab new project cards, which influence which buildings you can take and how you score. When you complete four project cards in a row, the oldest card in the row is scored. And keep an eye on the specialists: four unique specialists are scattered across the city, and by building in their area, you gain unique powers that can turn the game in your favor, either with bonus points or special abilities. Whoever plans best and accumulates the most prestige wins!
