Synopsis
When the small fishing village of Altona was founded in the 16th century, its large neighbour, the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, was not particularly worried. But Altona soon grew so rapidly that a rivalry arose in which the two cities constantly tried to outdo each other. Compete against each other in this exciting city duel. Who will succeed in overwhelming the opposing city with an instant victory? There are many ways to achieve this. But only by acting with foresight and clever distraction will you be able to lead your city to victory.

The rules
In Rival Cities, each player controls the fate of one of these neighboring cities, trying to gain an unbeatable advantage in one of the 4 areas of success (prestige, lawsuits, ships, or alliances). Whoever manages to do so wins immediately. This makes for an intense and suspenseful back and forth, in which the key to success lies in mastering the art of deflection as well as the ability to read your rival’s intentions and the opportunities on the game board.
