High Rise

Hey there, board game enthusiasts! Ready to build some skyscrapers and maybe dabgle in a little bit of corruption? In High Rise, you'll dive headfirst into city building, where every floor counts and ambition can earn you bonuses... but watch out! The action track is a one-way street: you advance as far as you want, but you only get another turn when everyone else overtakes you. It's a strategic game that demands planning and a touch of cunning. Gather resources, erect buildings (each floor is worth VP!), and leverage the powers of tenants, which change each game, adding that spicy bit of replayability. But don't be fooled, corruption can give you temporary advantages, but in the end, it hits your VP stash hard and can lead to penalties. The game features scoring for area majority in neighborhoods and for the tallest building, with games lasting from 90 minutes to 2.5 hours, depending on whether you choose the standard or full game. It's a game with a heavier feel, ideal for those who enjoy thinking and planning every move, and it boasts an excellent solo mode for those wanting to test their strategies without company. Get ready to build the metropolis of your dreams (or corrupt nightmares!).
