Description
Brick & Mortar is a competitive game of narrow margins, quirky stores, and strategic market manipulation. Over a series of rounds, two to four players manage a collection of stores trying to maximize profits, build equity, and undercut the competition amid a fickle market that can change at the whim of their opponents. Each round, players simultaneously determine the market, speculate on resources, sell what they can, invest in victory points, and manage their storefronts. Each new store in a player’s building provides unique benefits and restrictions. In the end, the player with the greatest investment in both stores and points wins!
