Round Structure
A
AUCTION
Bid on 5 location cards dealt from the City Deck. Highest bid wins and pays immediately. Tied bids: one optional extra round of bids, then a die roll. Once per auction you may burn a City Event or Appeal card for a Money card (first lot only). Overpay with a big bill and you draw change (the $5M rule).
T
TURNS
Each player takes a full turn: Draw 2 cards, then Act (build, play events, collect revenue).
E
END
Check VP. Discard to 7. First to 40 VP wins.
Your Turn
1
DRAW
Pick 2 cards from the Money Deck or City Deck (mix and match).
2
ACT
Build locations, play City Events, collect revenue, or list cards on the Property Market.
3
END
Discard to 7 cards if over the hand limit.
Building
Building is free (it costs one action): build a location from your hand into its matching neighbourhood. Fill every slot, including the Landmark, to develop the neighbourhood and earn +5 VP. Developed neighbourhoods are protected: nothing there can be stolen. Wildcards (Food Trucks, Public Art, Heritage Homes) fit any open matching slot in any neighbourhood, and can move to another for $1M.

Grandview/Woodland 1 BIZ · 2 CUL · 1 PARK

Each neighbourhood also has a Landmark slot. Building the Landmark completes the neighbourhood's development and activates its unique ability.
Developer Agendas
Before the first auction, each player secretly commits to one of two Developer Agenda cards. Agendas have three tiers. Each tier scores bonus VP the moment you hit it.
