Saint Petersburg is a card game that puts you in the role of a worker, architect, or noble in building the grand Russian capital. In each round you choose a card from a common display—workers, buildings, or nobles—and at the end of the phase you receive rubles and victory points based on the type you bought. What makes the game so engaging is the blend of open drafting, where everyone competes for the same pool of cards, and set collection, rewarding those who gather cards of the same type. The second edition adds an optional market phase, introducing market cards that generate extra resources and victory points. This module also allows a fifth player to join, increasing the dynamic and competition. The balance between long‑term planning (sequencing purchases) and quick draft decisions makes each game unique. The game runs about 60 minutes and works well for 2 to 5 players, with moderate difficulty—ideal for those who already know economic construction games and want something not overly complex. Components are compact: a card deck, ruble tokens, and a simple score board. If you enjoy games that combine buying strategy, set collection, and a touch of Russian economy, Saint Petersburg is a pick that will keep you coming back.
