Making Manhattan (Button Shy)

As a premier city planner, youve been called in for one of the most prestigious projects imaginable: the chance to remake Manhattan. Now it’s time to share your vision for New York Citys most notable borough. Can you design the ideal layout? Planning makes perfect in Making Manhattan!

InMaking Manhattan, players will take turns drafting cards to add to their tableau outlining their plan for Manhattan. Tableaus consist of Downtown, Midtown, and Uptown areas as well as Central Park. Once both players have completed their plan, players will score points based on the position of each drafted card, personal scoring conditions assigned at start, and how well they managed traffic through the borough. The player with the most points at the end of the game becomes New Yorks top city planner and wins the game!
