Simple card game taking 30 minutes with 9 players. We modified start to have 4 saboteurs for better valance.
Well constructed but miss a layer of complexity that make the play to repetitive but not so challenging actions

Publishers description
THE BIG APPLE IS UP FOR GRABS
Welcome to 1960s New York. A new immigration act triggers a demographic boom, and a wave of Chinese immigrants moves into Chinatown. Hard-working men and women arrive by the thousands to build a new life in the New World. In Chinatown, you are one of these immigrants. Use your talents and your life's savings to claim ownership of sections of city blocks, establish businesses, and build your fortune. Put your negotiation skills to the test as you make deals with other players to acquire adjacent properties and grow your empire. But it's not always easy. In this game where everything can be negotiated, only the hard laws of the market prevail.
Note: the card sleeve information on the back of the game box is incorrect. Use 4 packs of FFG Red FFS02 sleeves instead of 6 FFG Yellow packs.

If you have the right crowd this is the best game out there - hands down. Screaming/arguing are the name of the game haha!
This game is fun for those who love wheeling and dealing. It’s simple to learn, can be mean, and doesn’t outstay its welcome.
It’s not as dynamic as my group would have liked and I personally prefer Ponzi Scheme as it’s a more fun version of these type of game.
If this ever comes back into stock, buy it immediately. Some of the most fun I've had yelling at friends. The game is so simple to explain and follow. No turn order. Just people yelling over each other making deals.
This game is a classic and a must-have for anyone into trading/negotiation games. Played multiple times with our gaming group and everyone immediately said it was their favourite game after their first playthrough. I cannot recommend this enough. I just wish they would have it in stock more often. Easy 5/5
