Foundations of Metropolis

Foundations of Metropolis challenges players to prove their architectural prowess by designing the most prestigious cityscape over the course of three competitive rounds. Set in a bustling metropolis, players take on the role of visionary architects, purchasing deeds to empty lots and strategically constructing buildings to maximize their prestige and influence. With each new building erected, the city’s skyline transforms, and only the most successful architect will be crowned Grand Architect by the end of the game.

In this standalone version of the popular Foundations of Rome, players will use polyomino pieces to represent their structures, adding a new layer of spatial strategy to the familiar mechanics. More complex buildings require more lots but offer greater rewards in prestige and influence, so balancing your resources and planning your moves carefully is essential to outmaneuver your rivals. The game’s modular setup and variety of building options ensure a fresh experience each time you play, offering endless possibilities for city planning and architectural strategy.

Designed for 2-4 players and with a playtime of 60 minutes, Foundations of Metropolis brings a new theme and unique components to the well-loved formula, making it accessible to both newcomers and experienced players.
