## Description
Supertall places you at the heart of a city that grows upward. Instead of sprawling outward, developers here look up, building skyscrapers that defy gravity. In a 2‑to‑3 player game, each turn you draw a plan card that can be a residential, commercial, entertainment, or green block. You decide whether to put that block on your own tower, pass it to an opponent, or use a special ability the card offers. As the board expands, you notice that the city hall will heavily tax one of the block types, zeroing its value at the end of the game, so planning ahead is essential. When all cards are used, scoring is calculated by combining the number of each block type in each tower, but remember: one type can be worth zero. The player who earns the highest score—balancing construction strategy and “Take That” interactions—soars to the top of the skyline. The game is quick, with 20‑minute sessions, but it demands rapid tactical decisions and foresight about how the city hall will act. Components are simple: 18 plan cards, resource tokens, a building board, and a few construction dice. The art style is minimalistic, with illustrations that resemble Lego blocks at a realistic scale. Supertall is a micro‑game that blends hand‑management, set‑collection, and tile‑placement mechanics, all in a Print‑&‑Play format that can be printed at home. If you enjoy city‑building, strategic card play, and direct interactions, this title will keep you excited with every choice. Moreover, the “Take That” mechanic creates unexpected tension moments, forcing players to adapt their strategies in real time. The compact design lets you play anywhere, from a dinner table to a café.
