Welcome to New Las Vegas keeps the heart of Welcome To… but swaps the suburbs for the Strip. You work with two sheets, one for the map and one for scoring and goals. Each round three piles of cards are flipped to make three combos of a casino number and an action, and everyone picks one. You write the number into a casino on your street, in numerical order, and use the action to open hotels on avenues, lay out golf courses, put on shows for tourists or shuffle limousines for VIPs. Everyone races for the shared public goals, so timing matters. It is a roll-and-write without dice, which scales from solo to a huge crowd.

Who it's for

You liked Welcome to... Your Perfect Home and want a newly themed version with fresh mechanics, or you play with large groups.

Not for you if…

You dislike paper-and-pencil games or want strong interaction. Everyone mostly builds their own city.

Vibe's take

Everybody plays at the same time, quietly sketching, and the tension builds around shared goals. You hold your breath waiting to see which pile everyone else grabs.
