Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The riding event of the season has just begun. Five promising racehorses race along the course. The racing cards determine the speed. However, the race does not always go according to plan, because some of the horses push their way through and thrust others aside in their determination to win. Players who tactically use their cards and have luck on their side will win the race by a head.

Product Description

Build apartment houses, rent them to tenants, and collect the rent. Sounds simple, but in Landlord every card gives you two options for play: one side is an apartment, the other has tenants, roofs (gotta have those when you build), cellars, renovations, and special actions. Move the wealthy tenants to your apartments and put the deadbeats in your opponents'. You can even bomb apartments, but don't get caught: jail awaits those who are careless! Players: 2-6 Ages: 10 and up Playing Time: 20 minutes

I've played Landlord before buying it, and I found it to be a highly dynamic game that has a lot of replayability. It can be a little hard to grasp the many game concepts at first, but it easily becomes a gem to own. I would recommend it for groups who enjoy a long drawn out game, it definitely is not a short game to play when you consider the amount of thinking required each turn.

A unique game that's fun for the whole family. The idea is that you're a landlord, you must build buildings, manage tenants, collect income and try to hurt the other landlords. In essence, whoever has the most money wins the game. You can move tenants, evict people, demolish buildings, plant bombs and even murder other tenants (or even your own if you're so inclined). Will you get away with it? Will you make it rich or break the bank? Play the game and find out!

Best played with 3 or more people
Quick to learn and play 30 minutes or so
Minimal strategy required so it's a great light hearted game
Girls seem to enjoy this game as much as boys

Takes a bit to learn how to play, but once you learn the rules it's simple and very fun. We've played it tons in the couple weeks since Christmas.
