## Description
Hey there, Mayors! Get ready for a supercharged version of Machi Koro, because in Bright Lights, Big City, the sleepy village of farms has become a bustling tourist hotspot! This standalone version of the original game brings an even more dynamic and vibrant city-building experience, retaining all the charm and fast-paced fun we already know and love. 

For 2 to 5 players, the goal remains the same: be the first to complete all your under-construction landmarks. Each turn, you roll one or two dice. The sum of the dice determines which buildings are activated, generating coins for you – and sometimes even for your opponents, because here the economy is collaborative (or competitive, depending on how you see it!). With money in hand, the move is to construct new buildings to strengthen your economy or invest in your landmarks, accelerating your victory. 

The big differentiator here is a new game setup that ensures each game is unique, without losing the fast pace. It's the perfect opportunity for those who want to dive into the Machi Koro universe with a fresh twist or for those looking for a light and fun game for the group. Get ready to roll the dice, build an empire, and watch your city shine!
