Establish businesses, acquire a fortune, and build a prosperous future in this game of negotiation and development.
The Big Apple Is Up for Grabs
Welcome to 1960s New York. A new immigration act triggers a demographic boom,
and a wave of Chinese immigrants moves into Chinatown. Hard-working men and
women arrive by the thousands to build a new life in the New World. In
Chinatown, you are one of these immigrants. Use your talents and your
life's savings to claim ownership of sections of city blocks, establish
businesses, and build your fortune. Put your negotiation skills to the test as
you make deals with other players to acquire adjacent properties and grow your
empire. But it's not always easy. In this game where everything can be
negotiated, only the hard laws of the market prevail.
Anything Goes
To make it in Chinatown, pursue the properties that will benefit you the most.
Constructing jewellery stores, restaurants, factories, and other buildings
provide you with income at the start of each of the game’s six rounds. But to
maximize this income, you'll have to build shops of the same type in adjacent
buildings. Use Shop tiles and building cards as bargaining chips to swing deals
and take over the properties you need. Negotiate with two players at once;
intervene in any negotiation you want; trade buildings, Shop tiles, or money in
any combination. Everything is open to trade. Whoever strikes the best deals and
earns the most money by the end of the game is the winner!
