## Overview

Foundations of Metropolis is a strategic board game for 1-4 players aged 14+, featuring 60-minute gameplay where players bid on city lots and build polyomino-shaped buildings to earn prestige. With high-quality components and an affordable price point, it offers a deep yet accessible city-building experience inspired by Foundations of Rome.

## Description

In Foundations of Metropolis, players will compete over three rounds to be the greatest architects in the city by purchasing deeds to empty lots and constructing new buildings on them. More complex buildings require more lots, but will bring you even greater prestige. The player with the most prestige will be appointed Grand Architect! Gameplay is the same in this standalone game as in Foundations of Rome, but with polyomino pieces and a brand new theme.

Review: Great City Building Game! - Foundations of Metropolis is a (much cheaper and reasonable) version of the KS game, Foundations of Rome. The game is simple, but is deeply strategic. Players bid for empty square lots on a grid printed over a game board. They then try to build variously shaped buildings on their connected lots for money and victory points. Generally, the bigger the building you can place the more victory points and/or money you earn. It’s very thinky and fun.
Review: Super fun, easy to teach and set up - This game is a simpler version of foundations of Rome and you definitely get your money worth. It has double layered boards which are high quality and the storage makes it so easy to put away. I don't have kiddos of my own yet but I'd say this is probably great for 8+ age range. The game was easy to teach to our friend and easy to learn i highly recommend.
