The City Council recently approved the zoning map for a new urban development — The Estates — featuring high-end infrastructure and a modern atmosphere for its citizens. Soon after, the banks awarded millions of dollars in loans to six real estate investment firms to help develop this new area. The zoning map for The Estates calls for two rows of four buildings each, located between the River and Main Street. The meadows on the other side of the River are to remain a recreational area for the City.

But, with hopes of larger profits, investors and building tycoons entirely ignore the City Council's demands and begin developing three rows of buildings instead. The Mayor catches wind of the potential for profit and begins planning a new mansion in The Estates, which would double the value of one of the building rows! With some sketchy building permits, investors begin developing buildings on the other side of the River, beyond the designated building zone. However, the City Council takes rigorous steps to put an end to the racketeering with an ultimatum: As soon as the first two rows are completed, the buildings in the uncompleted row will be torn down, resulting in a huge loss for all who invested there. At the end of the day, the investor with the highest-valued buildings will come out on top.

The players take on the role of investors seeking to make the most money by developing buildings in The Estates. Players will bid for the various building pieces and place them in The Estates to their benefit. All buildings in completed rows score positive points, while all buildings in incomplete rows score negative points. It is possible to have zero completed rows of buildings.

Confirming for Rick and myself for The Estates.

I would like to sign up for Finn span because I feel a bit more confident at this time

I am confirming for TRV

: TomH  Nov 01, 2025, 11:30I'd love to play Finspan if there is still a seat left

Sorry Tom! We hadn't updated the top post in a few days.  John E took the last Finspan spot.  Anything else I can add you to?

: Connor Archer  Nov 03, 2025, 08:08I would like to sign up for Finn span because I feel a bit more confident at this time

Sorry Connor we hadn't update the top post in a few days.  Finspan is full.  Anything else you'd like to join?

Hi sign me up for Arcs please 630pm

Please add me and Cass to the 7:30 Joraku

Beg my pardon for not knowing Tuesday etiquette, but if I already signed up for one game is it possible to switch? I just saw Matt is bringing the estates, and after the glowing review I would really like to try that. If not it's all good there many tuesdays!

Thank you for asking first, that is a very good question. While it is not encouraged, we know it is not something we can prevent from happening. In this instance, it doesn't look like you switching will keep Treasure Island from running, so I moved you to the other game.

Thank you! See you all tonight!

Hi! I'm in for backgammon!! Can't wait!

Dana and I are planning on coming tonight but not sure what we will be playing

I can't make it this evening! So if someone wants my spot in Arcs, they would be welcome to it!

add me to d&d2e, thanks

I'll cancel my first game of Joraku (shouldn't impact anyone). I'll be there for the 7:30 one though!

I am coming! Count me in.  Sign me up for Backgammon please!!

I'm going to be late, I cannot find my car keys!!!!  :(

Hello! I'm going to be running late. I thought i would be out of costco by now with winter tires, but they're running a bit behind. I hope to be there by 7 if all goes well!
Sorry in advance!
