Rebuilding Seattle is an economic engine game that isn't nearly as convoluted as most games in that genre. Read keithlaw's review.
in the next few decades. I was wrong, as usual, as the game actually takes its theme from the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, and asks players each to build up a neighborhood in the city, combining tile-laying and engine-building mechanics for a very Euro-style game experience that plays quite a bit faster than I first expected.
Three of the six building colors provide you with the bulk of the victory points you’ll accumulate during the game, representing entertainment, shopping, and dining. In each of the three rounds, an event will trigger scoring for each of those three building types. You’ll gain points and/or money based on how many of that type’s symbols you have anywhere in your neighborhood and how far you’ve moved up the track for that type.
Each player’s personal board also shows three Laws unique to them, and the player can invoke one of them per round, including choosing the same Law multiple times in the game. These are all beneficial, giving you points and/or money or allowing you to reduce your population, sometimes requiring you to pay money for the benefit. This also takes the place of your turn and gives the game a little asymmetry, which otherwise only comes from the slightly different starting neighborhood tiles.
At the end of each round, players get income from all of the money symbols on green buildings on their board and trigger any cards that have end-of-round bonuses. The building market is refreshed from the next deck, each of which has progressively better buildings in it, and all events are returned to the middle of the table to be used anew in the next round.
