In Foundations of Metropolis, players will compete over three rounds to be the greatest architect in the city by purchasing deeds to empty lots and constructing new buildings on them. More complex buildings require more lots, but will bring you even greater prestige. The player with the most prestige will be appointed Grand Architect! Gameplay is the same in this standalone game as in Foundations of Rome, but with polyomino pieces and a brand new theme. -description from the publisher
