Chad Jensen Promotes Urban Sprawl

Nov 3, 2011

One of the most eagerly anticipated games coming this fall is Urban Sprawl, from GMT. Chad Jensen brings an all new design to the gaming table in which players each look to make the largest impact on a small town’s growth into a mighty metropolitan giant.

Happily we can report that the game is currently on its way to stores!

From GMT:

Urban Sprawl abstractly models the growth of a town into a teeming metropolis.

Players assume the roles of entrepreneur, tycoon and politician—each helping in the development of a hypothetical ‘Anywhere, USA.’ Wealth and Prestige will be earned and spent throughout the game. Buildings will rise only to later be demolished for better and larger fare. Throughout the game, players will gather valuable Permits. These will result in either a wealthy Investment or the foundation of a new building Contract. Players will strive to become dominant in one or more building Zones in order to acquire beneficial political offices. All of this eventually leads to the end game – a vibrant metropolis that is revered around the world – when the player with the most Prestige will be crowned the winner.
