New York 1901 review

New York 1901 is a game I keep coming back to. It's one of those games that's easy to learn but has enough depth to keep things interesting. The theme is fun – building skyscrapers in early 20th century New York – and the components are nice quality. I especially love the artwork.

The gameplay is a lot like Tetris, which is a fun twist. You're trying to acquire land and build buildings on it, and there's a bit of a race to get the best spots. You can also upgrade your buildings to get more points. The game is a bit cutthroat, but in a fun way. It's definitely a game that will make you think strategically.

I've played this with a variety of people, from beginners to experienced gamers, and everyone has enjoyed it. It's a great game for family game night or just a casual get-together with friends. I've even played it with my kids, and they love it too.

One of the things I really appreciate about this game is that it's very replayable. There are a lot of different strategies you can use, and the game can be set up in different ways. The bonus cards really add to the replayability. I've played this game dozens of times, and I still find new things to try.

Overall, I highly recommend New York 1901. It's a fun, engaging game that's perfect for anyone who enjoys building games or strategy games. It's also great for families, as it's easy to learn but still offers a challenge.
