Vibe's take

Tense and cerebral β€” a tight two-player duel where every worker placement on the same few streets can block your opponent, and reputation management adds a slow-burn layer under the race to build.

About this game

Flatiron drops you into turn-of-the-century Manhattan, racing a rival company to complete New York's iconic triangular skyscraper. Expand your card-based company, place workers on the surrounding streets, and balance construction speed against your public reputation.
