About the game

What is Manhattan?

Magnificent wooden game where you try to gain influence in Manhattan building the highest skyscraper. You roll two dice and move your two pawns so that you can build a new floor or a roof or you can place a street tile. If you can manage it that your building (higher) and the one of an opponent could merge you take over the building. Some additional rules make this a very nice 3D variant of ACQUIRE
