A game of building skyscrapers

1. Game Preparation
Use /join to join the game. Use /start To begin the game (2-4 Players). Or you can use the game tool instead.
2. The Game

Each player tries to maximize their points by building multi-storied buildings in six different neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has 9 locations to build (each the picture on the left). The game has 4 rounds. In each round each player will build 6 buildings. Scoring occurs at the end of each round. The player with the most points wins.

3. Sequence of Play

Each player starts out with a selection of 24 available buildings. The buildings have heights of 1-4 floors. At the begining of each round each player selects 6 of the their buildings (by clicking on the building) to use them during that round. After all players have selected their buildings, placement of the buildings begins.

During the building phase, players take turns placing their buildings. To place a building, click on the building and then click on the location you wish to place it.

You can only place a building in a location that matches one of your 4 cards(see picture on the left). If the building location is empty or your control the building there, you can place any building there. If the building location is already occupied with a building you can build on top of the existing building. The color of the building indicates the player that controls the building.

If the building location is controlled by another player, you can only build on top of that building if, after you build, you have at least as many floors in that building as every other player. The small numbers next to the building indicate how many floors each player has built for that building. In the example shown, the building on the middle left location has three floors from SargeofNY(Blue) and 1 from TheBoomer(White). If Boomer wants to build on top of that, he must use at least a 2 floor building so that he has at least as many floors as Sarge does.

4. Scoring

At the end of each round all buildings are scored as follows:
- For each building you control - 1 point
- For each neighborhood you have the most buildings - 2 points
- For the tallest building on the board - 3 points
In scoring both tallest building and each neighborhood, if 2 or more players are tied for the lead, no points are given to any of the players.
