Architects compete for park views by raising buildings in eight different heights, where being tallest in a neighborhood scores – and where jumping the turn order queue costs real money.
Who it's for
Players who like tight spatial competition where reading opponents matters as much as your own plan.
Not for you if…
You dislike direct blocking or want a building game where you can execute your plan undisturbed.
Vibe's take
Sharp and slightly cutthroat – the spot you want is always the one someone else wants, so the turn order auction stings in the best way.
