From BoardGameGeek
It's election year in Chicago, and as an aspiring politician this might be your golden opportunity to rise to the coveted position of Mayor. Will you gather enough money, popularity, and power to prevail? Mayor of Chicago is a solitaire game of tight management and tough choices. Each turn, you draw a city card and decide whether you want to use it to expand your knowledge of the Windy City (by laying this card as part of the map), or hire the assistant depicted on the back of the card to benefit from their special power or scoring abilities. Only by managing shrewdly your resources and the powers of the assistants will you be able to gather enough votes to be elected. -description from the publisher
