Background
The world’s cities are founded on the aspirations
of many people. Their secret ambitions are seldom in agreement
and rarely fully satisfied, but he interplay of their efforts
leads to the unique character of each city. So it is in every
round of Cityscape.
Before beginning a city, the players set secret
goals for their view of the buildings in the completed city.
Each line of sight gets a separate goal, such as the number
of buildings that will visible, or how many are equal in height.
These are recorded with dice as simple codes.
Then the players take turns adding freely a block
at a time to the rising city until all the blocks have been
placed.
The more buildings you set out to see, the more
points you can score. But, you only score points for meeting
a goal exactly, so don’t be obvious – play slyly to
hide your plans till the end!

Features
and Benefits
- Attractive wooden game board and pieces.
- The idea of viewing the same city buildings from different
perspectives is intriguing.
- Works reasonably well as a 2-player game or for up to
four players.
- The process of trying to achieve your own secret goals
while at the same time trying to figure out the secret goals
of your opponents (and trying to hinder them from achieving
those goals) is intriguing and fun.
- The game play is complex enough to provide substantial
replay value, even for experienced gamers.
