chandigarh
In 1951, the Indian government commissioned the renowned architect Le Corbusier to design a new capital for Punjab: thus CHANDIGARH was born. The players, in the role of urban planners, will be in charge of building this modern city from scratch.
Using an original card mechanic, they will construct buildings, try to take advantage of those constructed by the other players, use the abilities of the different municipal employees and try to position themselves in the key locations of the city, all with the aim of achieving the patterns of the plans they have chosen. Whoever scores the most prestige points in this way will win the game.
