Description

Builder's High is a fast-paced card game where you get to build a city by combining budget cards to pay for buildings, all while making sure not to waste a single card. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 5 players can dive into this 30-minute game, designed by Susumu Kawasaki and published in 2023. The goal is to achieve one of the multiple city planning cards, but it's not as simple as just building - you need to manage your hand, read your opponents' plans, and make the most of the cards you have. On each turn, you can take a budget card, a construction card, or build a building, but the key to success lies in cunning hand management and card drafting. The building cards have effects that can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the situation, so you need to think strategically about when to use them. Even when you've achieved your city plan, you can't rest easy - you still need to use up all the cards in your hand to emerge victorious. With its unique blend of hand management and card drafting mechanics, Builder's High is a thrilling game that challenges you to create a bustling city while outmaneuvering your opponents.
