The Estates – How to Play 🎲 and Why It's a Gem 💎

In The Estates, players are building towers made up of coloured cubes. Everything's up for auction: those coloured cubes (the first winner of a colour owns that colour for the whole game), roofs, multipliers and more. In the end, only two of the three rows of buildings in The Estates will score points for their owners, but owners of the buildings in the third row will lose points! The Estates is simple to learn and quick-playing — but it is oh-so-brutal.

The Estates, by designer Klaus Zoch (yes, that Zoch), was originally published as Neue Heimat by Chili, his boutique direct-to-consumer publishing company. This 2018 version by Capstone is much more readily available!
