Chinatown (New Edition)

Manufacturer: Z-Man Games

New York in the 1960s. A new wave of Chinese immigrants is moving into Chinatown. The adoption of the new immigration act has launched the district into a demographic boom! It now reaches Canal Street to the north and Bowery Street to the east. The immigrants, hard-working men, and women are arriving by the thousands to buy buildings, establish businesses, and fulfill the American Dream! In this game, you are one of them! With all your savings in hand, the Big Apple is up for grabs! Will you know how to use your talents and acquire the most extraordinary fortune in America?

The board represents the New York Chinatown of the mid-’60s. It is divided into 6 districts containing buildings numbered from 1 to 85. A game is played over 6 rounds. In each round, the players receive income from the businesses they have managed to establish. To generate the maximum income, shops of the same type need to be built on adjacent buildings. At the beginning of each round, players draw new Building cards and new Shop tiles. They must then use their negotiation skills to acquire adjacent buildings and establish businesses.

But it’s not always that easy…In this game where everything can be negotiated, only the hard laws of the market prevail.
