London

London is a game by Martin Wallace. Players select cards with varying powers of cashflow, victory points, and poverty penalties, and compete to manage them most efficiently. This is the first edition of the game. It differs considerably from the second edition and is not superseded by it. A mod for the second edition can be found @ http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1196956685 "London lies devastated after the Great Fire of 1666. This is your opportunity to build a new city on the ashes of the old. It is up to you how you employ the talents of the people of London to this end. Will you favour the business classes, who will earn you money? Or would you prefer to spend more money than you can rightly afford on grand monuments and sumptuous palaces? You must also deal with the problem of rising poverty and how to employ the many paupers of the city. Throughout the game you will be forced to make tough decisions. To achieve one aim you must sacrifice another, which may open an opportunity for a competitor." Notes The player aid is two-sided. Flip (F) the sheet for the second page! Although the rules don't say one way or the other, some players on BGG have noted playing with VP chits as hidden information. To play this way, create a hidden zone for your chits or counter.
