Grand Plan: New York City

New York City is one of the most iconic and influential cities in the world. While the city was founded in the 1600s by Dutch settlers, over the next few centuries New York City transformed from a small trading post into a global center of commerce, culture, and innovation. In Grand Plan: New York City, players are urban planners who build this city from the 1600s through the early 2000s against the backdrop of historical events. A unique system of historically based chronicle cards allows new rules to come into effect and expire over the course of the ten turn game. Players lay out the grid plan of Manhattan across the island and into the sky, developing new neighborhoods, placing influence, and engaging with the news of the day. —description from the publisher
