Description
Chinatown is a classic negotiation game where 3 to 5 players compete to build a thriving city. Published in 1999 by Karsten Hartwig, this game is easy to learn but challenging to master. Players acquire sections of city blocks and place tiles representing businesses, aiming to create connected sets of three to six tiles for big payouts. As players take turns, they must negotiate and trade with each other to get the matching businesses and adjacent locations they need. With no necessary in-game text, Chinatown is accessible to players of all languages. The game's unique blend of city building, economic management, and negotiation makes for a fun and engaging experience that lasts about 60 minutes. Will you emerge as the ultimate city builder, or will your opponents outmaneuver you? In Chinatown, it's all about making the right deals and building a prosperous city.
