## Description
Get ready to become the greediest landlord in town with Friese's Landlord! This classic from designer Friedemann Friese, dating back to the 90s, puts you in the shoes of a ruthless property owner whose sole aim is to stuff your pockets with cash. You'll attract all sorts of tenants to your buildings, from quiet families to the truly eccentric. Some dream of a luxury apartment, but most will have to settle for a rundown flat, or worse! Watch out for squatters and other troubles that might pop up.

The game is a card-based battle where you use your hand to build, sabotage rivals, defend your property, and, of course, extract as much money as possible. Each card has multiple uses, so thinking carefully before playing is essential. You might be building a nice apartment block, but your neighbor could blow it up or steal your most valuable tenants. The interaction is direct and sometimes quite nasty, but always with a touch of humor that keeps things light. The objective is simple: whoever has the most cash at the end wins. It's a fast-paced game with accessible rules, but with that strategic depth we love, especially if you enjoy card games with a bit of 'take that' and resource management.
