City
Hall
$59.95
SRP
City
Hall sees players competing to become Mayor of New York City. They do this by
attempting to be the most successful at both bringing people into the city as
well as campaigning for the citizens’ approval. Whoever best balances these two
goals will win the election.
There
are seven offices within City Hall. These offices deal with a different aspect
of building the city or campaigning, such as the Tax Assessor, Surveyor, or
Zoning Board. In a round, each player will get to activate one of these
offices. However, just because you activate an office doesn't mean you will get
to use it. The other players will have an opportunity to use their influence to
steal control of the office away from you. Keeping it will require countering
with your own influence. However, you can instead let another player control
that office this round and add their influence to your own, giving you a leg up
on controlling things later on.
In
using these offices, players will buy land and build properties to create
attractive neighborhoods which will bring the most people into the city
or they might place a factory next to an opponent's housing complex to
drive people out. They will also tax their constituents to raise funds (with
the option of sacrificing popularity to tax at higher rates), buy and sell
influence to the Lobbyist, and campaign to increase their approval level.
At
the end of the game, the citizens of the city will vote based on which player
brought them in and that player's approval level. Special interest groups will
also collect votes for players based on certain goals, such as Wall Street
backing the player with the most money. Whichever player has the most votes on
election day will become Mayor of New York and appoint his or her opponents to
the Sanitation Department.
