Parking lot and attractions

In one of four theme parks or neighborhoods - Animal Kingdom, Tour Amerika, Sky World und Foreign Lands - you are responsible for building attractions. One game round equals one week; you draw RIDE cards which represent various attractions. Those cards have two functions - one function is “Pre-Approval” from the Finance office, to expedite the construction of various attractions. The second function of a card is the actual financing of that enables you to construct the attraction represented by the card.

All players in turn first draw one Ride card from the display on the table and then, again in turn, draw a second Ride card. Then, once again in turn, you play one card on the table between two players and afterwards one card on the discard pile. If this discarded card corresponds to a card on the table on either side of you, you build this attraction without penalty payment. Then you place an attraction corresponding to the card on your board or improve an attraction of the same name already on the board. When each player was starting player once, that is, at the end of the month, the Review Board holds a meeting and evaluates progress in each park and awards bonuses for meeting pre-determined preferences for arrangements of attractions in a park. After four or three bonus round for three or four players you score the size of rides, Parking Lot View, Main Entrance View and Theme Sets of matched attraction types in a park.

This is a very prettily designed tile placement games in the tradition of Carcassonne, enlivened by the planning tactics and strategies introduced by the Ride cards; variants offer variety.
