Description
Brick & Mortar is a competitive game where 2 to 4 players manage a collection of stores, trying to maximize profits and build equity in a fickle market. The game is all about strategic market manipulation, where players simultaneously determine the market, speculate on resources, and sell what they can. Each new store in a player's building provides unique benefits and restrictions, adding a layer of complexity to the game. As players navigate the market, they must invest in victory points and manage their storefronts to stay ahead of the competition. With a playtime of 60 to 120 minutes, Brick & Mortar is a game that requires careful planning and strategic thinking. The player with the greatest investment in both stores and points wins, making it a game of narrow margins and quirky store management.
