Description

Get ready to unleash your inner architect in Wettstreit der Baumeister, a city building game designed by Jean du Poël. Released in 1994, this game has been entertaining players for decades with its unique blend of auction and bidding mechanics. In Wettstreit der Baumeister, 3 to 4 players compete to build the most symmetrical city, using a beautiful assortment of large, thick tiles to represent different buildings such as city halls, churches, towers, and gates. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and with a playtime of just 45 minutes, you can quickly get started and enjoy a fun gaming session. As players take turns bidding on building tiles, they must strategically manage their finances and outbid their opponents to get the tiles they need. The game adds an extra layer of excitement with the ability to sabotage other players' cities, forcing them to pay a penalty or remove a tile. The game ends when one of the two draw piles is exhausted, and the player with the most symmetrical city is declared the winner. With its simple yet engaging gameplay, Wettstreit der Baumeister is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and challenging city building game that's perfect for a group of friends or family members.
