Description

London is a game of city building and economic management, where players take on the challenge of rebuilding the city after the Great Fire of 1666. With 2 to 4 players competing to manage their resources most efficiently, the game is all about making tough decisions and sacrificing one aim for another. Players select cards with varying powers, including cashflow, victory points, and poverty penalties, and must balance their hand to achieve their goals. As players manage their hand and build their city, they'll encounter famous buildings and monuments from the era, as well as engineering developments like streetlights. The goal is to score the most victory points, but it's not easy - players must balance their finances, reduce poverty, and make the most of their card choices. With a playtime of around 90 minutes, London is a game that requires strategic thinking and careful planning, but offers a fun and engaging challenge for fans of city building and economic games.
