About the game
Players try to get rich investing their money in Metropolis. Each turn corresponds to a business day in town. A newspaper announce what can be done this day: whether taxes must be paid, real estate can be acquired, the stock market is active, new building licenses are available, a new floor of the downtown skyscrapers may be built. After the first phase, when players pay/gain money according to the news, each player moves through the city (walking, by taxi, by bus or using the underground), trying to get first to the offices where the available deal can be done. As soon as two deals are completed, the business day may end. The games goes on until the last available skyscraper floor has been built. The richer player (money, stock value and real estate value) is the winner.

Questions and answers
Metropolis supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Metropolis is 120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Metropolis for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Metropolis has a complexity rating of 2.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
