The original city-building game Big City returns to print in a 20th Anniversary Jumbo Edition with buildings 33% larger than the original game and revised property trading rules. In Big City players acquire cards in eight different neighborhoods then use them to lay out buildings either one two or three spaces large. The points they receive for a given building is a base score plus bonuses for the buildings surrounding it. Someone must play city hall (scoring no points for themselves) in order for anyone to start placing any structure beyond the simple residences and business. As for what differs from the original game in this new edition: Redevelopment Phase - This new mandatory phase happens at the end of each round of player turns (i.e. after all players have acted). In point order (first to last) each player must surrender one property from their hand and optionally they can surrender a second property. Then in reverse point order each player takes back a number of cards equal to the number they surrendered. Cards are normally played face-down so that only the neighborhood is visible. However a player can "jump to the front of the line" by choosing to play their card face-up. However this can be done only when the card is currently usable so you cannot use this method if you're trying to trade neighborhood properties which are not yet in play. (You can still trade them just face-down only.)
