## Description
Landlord! is a fast‑paced, back‑stabbing card game for 2 to 6 players. Every card has two sides: one shows an apartment you can build, the other displays tenants, roofs, renovations or special actions. Your goal is to assemble a portfolio of apartments and fill them with high‑paying tenants while shoving deadbeat renters into your opponents' buildings. Each turn you decide which side of the card to play, making hand management essential, as each card can be a gain or an attack. 

Set collection comes into play when you try to gather wealthy tenants or specific renovation combos that score extra points. Tags on the cards create synergies – some tenants only give bonuses if they reside under a proper roof, for instance. On top of that, Take‑That cards let you bomb, evict or pull other nasty tricks; get caught and you might end up in jail, losing valuable turns. 

Victory points act as a resource: the more rent you collect, the more points you earn, but you can also spend points for powerful actions. Games run about 10‑15 minutes, keeping the action brisk and the rivalry high. The humor shines through the card text and the ridiculous scenarios, like dropping bombs on neighboring buildings. If you enjoy light, interactive games with a dash of chaos, Landlord! serves up a solid, laugh‑filled experience without a steep learning curve.
