Who it's for
Groups of 4-5 who love haggling, deal-making, and social interaction. The game is the negotiation — everything else is scaffolding.
Not for you if…
Not for quiet groups or players uncomfortable with open-ended bargaining. Shy players will struggle against experienced negotiators.

About this game
Pure negotiation game set among tile-laying businesses in a growing city district. Players draw and place tiles, then enter a wide-open trading phase where anything goes — swap tiles, make cash deals, form alliances. The best negotiator wins, period.
