Winner of the coveted Spiel des Jahres award in 1994, Manhattan is a highly tactical game where anticipation and opportunism are key. Become the occupant of the highest penthouse in the city, own the most buildings in the neighbourhood and buy the highest flats to own the most buildings in the city! To build your real estate stock, select the buildings you want to build, according to their heights, from your inventory at the beginning of the round. Then choose the area you want to invest in via one of the four building permits you have been granted, and choose one of the six districts. If you are raising a building started by someone else, you must build at least the same number of floors. Then collect a building permit and observe your opponents' placements. While building your buildings, don't forget to seize the opportunities to stand out from the others!
At the end of each round, you get a bonus if you own the top floor of the tallest skyscraper, if you own the majority of buildings in a neighbourhood or if you occupy as many top floors as possible in the whole city. At the end of the game, the total points collected will determine who is the smartest investor!
