About the game

What is Cape May?

In Cape May, players traverse the city streets as entrepreneurs, developing property while building wealth over four seasons to earn prestige. Build cottages, develop them into Victorian homes, and upgrade them into historic landmarks. Establish shops and grow them into profitable businesses. Carefully move around the city, and make strategic use of activity cards. Complete bonus goals, then take some time to relax and spot wildlife in the best place for birdwatching in the Northeastern United States. Whoever best balances their income, development, movement, and personal goals will go down in history as the most successful developer of Cape May! —description from the publisher
